I would like to inform the Deputy there are four agencies which are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote. These are the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI); the Family Support Agency (FSA); the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) and the Ombudsman for Children. Gaisce also comes under the remit of my Department. With effect from 1 January 2012, I have taken responsibility for the Children Detention Schools as provided in Part 10 of the Children Act 2001.
I have set out in tabular format below, the information as requested by the Deputy.
| Name of Agency/ Body | Last accounts laid before the Oireachtas more than one year old (before May 2012) | Last accounts laid before the Oireachtas more than two years old (before May 2011) |
|---|---|---|
| National Educational Welfare Board | 2011 accounts (for period Jan - Dec 2011) | N/A |
| Ombudsman for Children's Office | 2011 accounts (for period Jan - Dec 2011) | N/A |
| Adoption Authority of Ireland | N/A | Financial statements for two month period ended 31st December, 2010 |
| Family Support Agency | 2011 accounts (for period Jan - Dec 2011) | N/A |
| Gaisce | No legislative requirement to lay accounts before the Oireachtas | No legislative requirement to lay accounts before the Oireachtas |
| Children Detention Schools | No accounts laid to date | No accounts laid to date |
It is my intention to lay the 2012 accounts for the Children Detention Schools before the Oireachtas once they are finalised later this year.
