My department has 11 Commercial State Bodies designated under the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2014.

Where a dividend is paid, the State Body pays this directly into the central exchequer fund. My department has no role in the allocation of revenue from this fund; this is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform who has responsibility for its allocation.

All dividends paid by agencies are a matter of public record and are published in the agencies Annual Reports and Financial Statements.
