All proposed public sector capital expenditure projects are evaluated in accordance with the requirements of the Guidelines for the Appraisal and Management of Capital Expenditure Proposals published by the Department of Finance in February 2005 and available on its website. These comprehensive guidelines require the appraisal of the project at various stages from approval in principle to post project review. My Department and the State agencies responsible for implementing Transport 21 projects will comply fully with the Guidelines.
In addition, the Monitoring Group that I established to oversee progress on Transport 21 is in the process of engaging auditors to undertake independent assessments of the appraisals carried out on a selected number of projects. Audits will also be carried out on the physical and financial progress of selected projects.
