Changes to Public Spending Code: Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform
Mr. Kevin Meaney:
The requirements prior to 2019 when the national children's hospital was approved did not have as many stages or have the same depth and rigour of external review. That has changed. The new code since 2019 is a different process from that which the national children's hospital went through.
