Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Mr. David Moloney:

Procurement, which the Chairman mentioned, is an example of where a radically different approach has taken hold over the last ten years in terms of the establishment of the Office for Government Procurement and the aggregation of procurement knowledge, expertise and funding of common goods and services. From where I sit, I would say there has been significant structural and behavioural change in the last decade. That is not to say there cannot be more and there are not other issues that need to be progressed further. Certainly the recommendations to the Committee for Public Accounts are taken very seriously. There is a reluctance to not accept them.
