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. Kevin Meaney:

We produce a report. Usually there is a four- to six-week turnaround time. We provide a fairly structured report of between ten and 15 pages setting out compliance with each of the steps we have detailed in the strategic assessment stage. This is returned to the Department for its own information. It is also retained for the information of the Minister of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform in case it should be brought to the Government for a decision or if views or observations were sought.
