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

Changes to Public Spending Code: Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

Mr. John Conlon:

I am not sure I can respond to that but I will make the point that, as I discussed with Deputy Conway-Walsh, the public spending code is quite a complex and lengthy document. We are evolving it into a set of infrastructure guidelines, which will be shorter. We will be able to direct people to the website for notes and guidance, etc. The infrastructure guidelines will be a much more coherent and shorter document. Hopefully, that will be of some help in terms of working with the system in that way. I am not sure that responds to the Deputy's point, but it demonstrates how we review what we are doing on an ongoing basis.
