Under section 17 (4) of the Dormant Accounts Act, 2001 (as amended), the Agency pays into the Reserve Account, from time to time, an amount determined by the Agency, with the approval of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government given with the consent of the Minister for Finance, for the purposes of making repayments from the Fund and of defraying various fees and expenses. A transfer is made periodically by the Agency to maintain the balance in the Reserve Account at a currently approved 15 per cent of the total dormant funds received by the Dormant Accounts Fund and not yet reclaimed. The balance in the Reserve account may deviate from 15 per cent in the intervening period between the periodic rebalancing dates.
