CIÉ Tours International, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Córas Iompair Éireann and is registered in the United States of America. The main business of CIÉ Tours International, Inc. is to retail coach tour packages on behalf of CIÉ Tours. The accounts for CIÉ Tours International, Inc. are consolidated into the financial statements of Córas Iompair Éireann. Summary revenue and expenditure details are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and a business commentary is included in the Chairman's Statement. I have previously requested a copy of the most recent financial accounts for CIÉ Tours International, Inc. from CIÉ and I expect to receive these shortly. It is my intention, subject to any legal considerations, to ensure a copy of such accounts is laid before each House of the Oireachtas.
