Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The Minister should correct this. He is adding reviews that were conducted six years ago into his total to try to improve the numbers. He has completed only 14% of those in the programme. Does the Minister not agree that the issue of value for money must be taken seriously in the health service, environmental services and road programmes? This arises from the cavalier attitude outlined in the report. The Ministers do not care, they are not carrying out the reviews and nobody is forcing the issue.
