Section 19(7) states:


As soon as is reasonably practicable after giving a direction under subsection (5), the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform shall publish the direction in such manner as he or she considers appropriate.
My reading of that provision is that a direction may not be published having due regard to commercial sensitivities. My reading of the words “such manner” is that it concerns the way it would be published such as in a newspaper or on a website, rather than being put before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
