Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

Any correspondence between the then Minister (and/or the Department for Finance) and the ESB Board between July and November 2009. Subsequently Clarified Lochlann Quinn - Non-Executive Chairman Padraig McManus - Chief Executive I’m looking for some communication relating to this: Section 7 of the Electricity Supply Amendment Act 2001 states the following - Payment of dividend into Exchequer. 7.—All amounts representing dividends or other money received by the Minister for Finance in respect of capital stock held by him or her shall be paid into or disposed of for the benefit of the Exchequer in such manner as he or she may direct. There was a special dividend take by the minister in 2009 on the back of a government decision from July of that year. I’m looking for the paper trail of how the ESB was contacted.
