I welcome the witnesses and commend Deputy Shanahan on going to the effort of drafting this legislation. It is not easy to draft legislation when one is on one’s own and without the benefit of a Department. Is the Bill’s purpose to put a statutory obligation on a Minister to ensure that he or she annually publishes a capital supply service and purpose report setting out capital expenditure by his or her Department?
