The establishment of an Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES) is a central Government initiative to enhance the capacity of the Civil Service to undertake evaluations of public expenditure, to provide economic analysis, and to improve the analytical resources available in the design and formulation of policy. It is led by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. No Economic and Evaluation Unit has yet been established in my Department.
