Agencies that come within my Department's remit are all non-commercial bodies, principally, though not exclusively, in the enterprise development sector such as Enterprise Ireland, IDA, County Enterprise Boards, etc., or on the regulatory side such as the Health and Safety Authority.

A list of Agencies of my Department, detailing the date on which the Department received their Annual Report and subsequently the date on which it was laid before the Oireachtas, is set out as follows.

e 2008 InterTradeIreland Annual Report and Accounts were presented at the North South Ministerial Council Sectoral meeting on 16 December 2009 at which the Report was noted. The Annual Report was noted at the Government meeting on 9 February 2010. The 2009 Annual Report is awaiting joint agreement by my Department and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Northern Ireland, prior to being submitted to Government.

2 Section 42(3)(b) of the Competition Act 2002 provides for the Competition Authority (and not my Department) to arrange for copies of its Annual Reports to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas.

3 The Labour Relations Commission's audited accounts were not available at the time of printing the Annual Report. These have just become available and I am advised that a submission on same is being prepared for my attention.
