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:

There has been a particular emphasis around the Supporting Excellence work. We have relied upon expertise from other sectors, particularly delivery entities and the Office of Government Procurement, and we would be very closely involved with the Office of Public Works, which is a key delivery entity. On the big sectors that deliver a lot of capital projects, such as transport, health, education and housing, we would have regular engagement with the big delivery entities on different aspects around capacity, the guidelines and wider areas like that.
