My Department has two commercial bank accounts. The aggregate balance of these accounts on 4 February 2013 was €4,401. There is no interest rate attaching to these accounts.
With regard to bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group, the Deputy will appreciate that management of bank accounts is part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies in question. I am arranging, therefore, for the terms of the Deputy’s Question to be transmitted to the heads of relevant bodies with a request that they provide information, to the extent feasible, directly to the Deputy.
