Since its establishment in April 2003 to the end of January 2014, the transfers to the Dormant Accounts Fund have totalled some €724million.  Funds reclaimed in that period by account holders amounted to around €273.6million, with €252million disbursed on projects designed to benefit the community over the same period.  The current balance of uncommitted funds is €108.48million.

During 2013, my Department, as well as the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, the Irish Prison Service and the Department of Education and Skills provided funding for disbursement to beneficiary projects under the Dormant Accounts Fund. The breakdown of disbursements to the projects by Pobal on behalf of my Department during 2013 is listed in the table below.

The Government recently approved a new Dormant Accounts Disbursement Scheme in accordance with the Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Act 2012. The 2012 Act also provides for the preparation of an action plan to give effect to the disbursement scheme. Organisations will be able to apply for funding once the action plan is approved, which is expected to be later this year, following a consultation process with relevant Government Departments. I have allocated €5.456million for Dormant Accounts Measures under my Department in 2014, which includes €2million to be used to support labour force activation measures in local authorities and the implementation of a modest action plan.

Further data in relation to the Dormant Accounts Fund are available on my Department’s website at .
