The Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016 (the Code) requires that the CIÉ Board, not later than four months after the end of the relevant financial year, publish its Annual Report and/or Financial Statements.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted CIÉ's ability to comply with the Code's specified timeframe, so earlier this year - as provided for under the Code - CIÉ sought and received derogation from the requirement to publish its 2019 Annual Report within the first four months of 2020.

It is expected that the 2019 CIÉ accounts will be published shortly.
