The Local Government Fund, which is managed and controlled by my Department, includes an investment account which does not currently attract negative interest rates.

The information sought insofar as the agencies under the aegis of my Department are concerned is an operational matter for the agencies themselves. Arrangements have been put in place by each agency to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out in the following table:
