The amount of Exchequer funds granted to non-commercial semi-State bodies and agencies is listed in the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV) each year under the section entitled "Detailed Expenditure Information On Non-Commercial Semi-State Bodies and Agencies". The table below lists the total amounts paid in each of the last ten years.

2000€2,237 m
2001€2,744 m
2002€3,606 m
2003€3,606 m

2007€5,874 m
2008€5,912 m

In general Exchequer funds are not issued to commercial State or semi-State bodies, however, I will write to the Deputy separately with details of all payments made to commercial bodies and agencies over the past ten years.

It is proposed to move elements of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to the former Department of Defence building on Infirmary Road, Dublin 7, which is adjacent to the new Criminal Courts Complex. The Department of Defence and elements of the Defence Forces are in the process of moving from Infirmary Road to the new Department of Defence Headquarters in Newbridge, County Kildare. The proposed move of elements of the DPP is part of the ongoing rationalisation of the State's property portfolio, designed to generate much needed savings for the Exchequer.
