I propose to take Questions Nos. 833 and 834 together.

I understand that the Dormant Account Inspection Reports, which I have not seen, have been completed recently by the Central Bank of Ireland. I am advised that the Bank does not have plans to publish the reports, as it is not permitted to disclose confidential information concerning the banks that it supervises under Section 33AK of the Central Bank Act, 2003. I am not aware of the Bank's intentions in respect of future inspections of other institutions that contribute to the Dormant Accounts Fund.
