Ged Nash

Question:

516. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the dividends paid by State-owned enterprises under the remit of his Department in each of the past five years; the projected dividends to be received in 2022, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41656/22]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

Due to the nature of its role, my Department has no State owned enterprises under its aegis and the bodies under its aegis do not pay dividends to it. The Deputy may wish to note that a number of the bodies in question are funded through their own Votes and the remainder are either grant funded or self-funded.
