I wish to advise the Deputy that the following dividends were received from commercial semi-State companies from 2017 to date in 2022.

Any dividends from Semi-State bodies received by the Exchequer form part of the overall revenue collected by the State. The policies relating to the payment of such dividends are detailed in the Instrument or Legislation which covers the formation of each body and, as such, would be a matter for the Minister of the relevant parent Department.
