299. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will provide a schedule of the non-commercial and semi-State commercial companies under her aegis; if an explanatory memorandum will be provided in respect of the policy of a dividend payment to the Exchequer from each company; the dividend paid by each company to the Exchequer for each year from 2000 to 2022; if her Department collects the funds and forwards it to the central fund or whether it goes directly; if over that period her Department has requested an increase in respect of the dividend due over it’s percentage shareholding; the number of occasions that it waived the dividend; the reason; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Social Protection does not have any non-commercial or semi-State commercial companies under its aegis.

As such, no funding from dividend payments have been made either directly or indirectly to the Department's Vote or to central funds.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
