In response to the Deputy's question I wish to advise him that the matter he raises is one, in the first instance, for the Court Service which falls within the policy remit of my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality.
I understand that the Public Accounts Committee examined and reported on issues related to Wards of Court last year, including relating to the management and investment of the funds awarded to Wards of Court by the Courts. Consideration and implementation of these recommendations is a matter for the Courts Service, and I am advised by the Court Service that the recommendations made by the Public Accounts Committee are under active consideration and that the Minute of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in response to the Report of the Committee is to issue shortly.
