Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In general terms, the Department of the Taoiseach is not involved in the delivery of major schemes and programmes. The spending review will involve a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of all aspects of the expenditure of the Department. The main focus of the review will be on general administration. There will be an examination of whether there is scope for further savings and efficiencies in addition to those already identified in the Department's action plan for implementing the Croke Park agreement.
