Several years ago a number of Departments prepared value for money reports on various projects. Have they gone out of fashion or are many still being carried out? Perhaps the Minister can send us a note on them. I get the impression that with the reduction in staff numbers they may not be produced to the same extent. If a project receives €20 million over three years, it is worth knowing whether it provided value for money.
