Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

My last question relates to the whole process around spending Government money on capital infrastructure and all of the blockages that were put in place as a consequence. One can look back over the years of the financial emergency measures in the public interest, FEMPI, legislation and the different changes that were made around Government expenditure in general. Where does Ms Burke see an opportunity for that to be streamlined further? We have seen the ceilings on the public spending code rising significantly. Is there a need for it at all when it comes to projects contained in the NDP?
