Changes to Public Spending Code: Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform
Mr. John Conlon:
I think the response we have made in the public spending code, particularly in respect of the national children's hospital, is evidence of how we respond. We strengthened the process in the public spending code after the overspend on the national children's hospital, by bringing in what we have discussed in the last half hour or so. We engage with the Departments, Ministers and Government in strengthening those processes. That is part of our mandate. I think the evidence is in the output.
