I ask the Minister of State to outline the planned reforms to the public spending code and explain how these reforms will achieve greater speed and efficiency. In November 2021, the then Department of Public Expenditure and Reform introduced an external assurance process, EAP, for major public capital projects. There is a mandatory requirement for funding Departments to participate in the EAP for Exchequer-funded projects with an estimated capital cost of more than €100 million, which has now been increased to €200 million. Can the Minister of State tell us where the efficiencies will be?
