My Department commenced the process of preparing the 2018 Dormant Accounts Fund Action Plan in February of this year.  In order to initiate the process, I wrote to Ministers in February requesting that their Departments identify potential projects or programmes which might be included in the Action Plan. 

Following the receipt of initial proposals from other Departments and agencies, my Department undertook a series of bilateral meetings to discuss the potential measures for inclusion in the Action Plan in further detail. 

The 2018 Dormant Accounts Action Plan is currently being finalised and will be submitted to Government shortly. The Plan will thereafter be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and published on my Department’s website.
