Even though the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform issues the circular and it is signed off by it, there is no mechanism to force them to come back to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform each year and say that, in accordance with point No. 15 of the circular, they have ticked all the boxes. We should at least have that much.
