Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Deputy is aware that the Government has initiated a comprehensive spending analysis and review for the first time ever under the new department for public expenditure and reform. The new Minister, Deputy Brendan Howlin, will have clarity about the value for money we are getting for moneys Voted for in this House.
