During this period, dividends were also paid to the Exchequer by privatised or semi-privatised organisations which were once commercial State bodies. These additional receipts are also included in the table for the Deputy's information.
Information on such dividends and receipts paid to the Exchequer are published on a monthly basis by my Department in the Fiscal Monitor which is available at .
