In addition, an initiative has been introduced to allow committees to conduct an ex ante examination of the Votes for which they are responsible with the relevant Ministers. There is also a drive to produce published performance measurement information in the REV. The Department is engaging proactively with the Oireachtas committee secretariat to improve the timeliness and quality of the material being supplied to committees in consideration of the annual Estimates with a view to enhancing the understanding of these issues.

On behalf of the Minister, I thank everyone who has contributed on the debate. These topics will be debated further with Deputies on Committee Stage.
