To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 210 of 13 November 2012, if he will confirm the gross amount that has been escheated to the State under Section 73 of the Succession Act 1965, a description and quantum of costs deducted, and the names of the deceased who have given rise to the €0.28 million net receipts to the Intestate Estates Fund Deposit Account.

Gross amounts totalling €0.39 million have been paid into the Intestate Estates Fund Deposit Account in the period covered by the Deputy's question. This sum includes an amount of €0.038 million which was not included in my reply of 13 November 2012. During this period costs amounting to €7,584 were paid out representing advertising and legal costs. An audit fee of €1,551 was also paid to the C & AG. Amounts were also repaid during this period where next of kin came forward.

The Deputy also asked for the names of the deceased who gave rise to these payments. There were a total of 256 deceased. I do not believe that it would be appropriate to publish their names.
