Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Capital Investment: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. Ronnie Downes:
I will pass the second question to Ms Costello. The Deputy asked how we determine if something is over budget. He made the point earlier that in a particular project, there had perhaps been a lack of clarity all the way along about what the actual cost was. Part of the new approach on spending involves an extra rigour.
