As the Deputy will be aware the Public Service Reform Plan, published in November, stated that in future, legislation to create a new State Body must now include a sunset clause ensuring that the Body will cease to exist after a predetermined date unless the Body's mandate is specifically renewed. However, to date no new semi-state organisations have been established in legislation since the Government came to power.
