No, they are published. I refer to the expenditure profiles that go to the Cabinet; the detailed reports that go to the Cabinet in respect of each Department, where the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform reports on them. I propose they should be published, say, ten days after going to the Cabinet because they contain key data.

While the information in some cases is tentative and depends on events that may happen later on, that is the way other parliaments do this. They have access to this information that is available to the executive once the executive has made decisions about it.
