Capital Supply Service and Purpose Report Bill 2023: Discussion
Dr. Ray Griffin:
The Bill is a minimal standard that they must adhere to. It gives a lot of scope to the Department to over-report. The capital tracker is a voluntary disclosure mechanism from the Departments. There is a desire for the Government to make citizens aware. Another initiative in that line is Whereyourmoneygoes.gov.ie. It is very much open to a Department to report on a shorter timeframe but it will have to do it within five years.
