I am still in the dark as to the practical steps of the review. There will be rolling selective reviews and new processes. When will Departments be informed of the process? Does the notion of a rolling selective review mean that some Departments will not be involved in the process this year or will they all be involved? Will this process be completed ahead of the summer when Departments submit their various budget priorities for 2018? What will be the consequences? The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council said previous expenditure reviews and ceilings were consistently breached and raised. What will the consequences be or will there be discussions about consequences for a Department that does adhere to its expenditure ceilings? Will the new controls arising from the fiscal rules be part of this review?
