I assume the Deputy is referring to State bodies or agencies funded from my Department's Vote Group. The Deputy will note that, in the case of most of the bodies or agencies in question, annual reports are approved by the Government, usually in tandem with the audited annual accounts. In a small number of cases, Government approval is not required under the terms of the legislation specific to the bodies or agencies in question. The Deputy might also wish to note that responsibility for the Family Support Agency transferred to my Department from the Department of Social Protection with effect from 1 May 2010. Responsibility for the Equality Authority, the Equality Tribunal, the Irish Human Rights Commission and the National Disability Authority transferred to my Department from the Department of Justice and Law Reform with effect from 1 June 2010.
