I was interested to read in the British magazine Waterways World September 2010 (Volume 39 Number 9 page 45) that:
British Waterways has published its 2009–2010 Annual Report.
Waterways Ireland too has just published its report on its website (immediately after I asked WI when the report would be published). In this case, though, it’s the Annual Report for 2008.
Admittedly BW’s year ends on 31 March and WI’s on 31 December, but a 15-month difference is quite a lot. It’s not as if BW is smaller: its income was £187 million whereas WI’s was £29 million.

Most State bodies are hopeless when it comes to publication of these things. When I worked for the State Agency Forfás, I was instrumental in bringing the lead time for getting our accounts audited down from 6 months after year end to 3 weeks after year end. But then, that is me.
