Question 656: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will publish the details of his Department's submission and all correspondence to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for consideration as part of the comprehensive spending review [23476/11]

Departmental submissions in relation to the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure are a central part of the pre-budget deliberations of the Government and are closely linked to the estimates process which will culminate in publication of spending estimates for individual votes. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to publish any such submissions or related correspondence, in that they are an integral part of the current budgetary process.
