Departmental submissions to the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure are a central part of the overall pre-budget deliberations of the Government. As such, release of these documents could not be considered in advance of Government decisions on the forthcoming Budget. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has already indicated that it is his intention to publish the Reports submitted as part of the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure process following the finalisation of the budgetary process.
