The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform not having any numerical guideline makes the work of committees incredibly difficult with regard to providing oversight, because there does not seem to be any rules around whether a Department can sidestep committees. If the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is serious about that - this is very big money - is it proposing to rewrite or change the public financial procedures? It is effectively doing so.
