The details requested by the Deputy are listed as follows. The list covers both reviews undertaken under the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES) programme and those initiated by the Department.

- JobsPlus Evaluation (2020)

- IGEES Social Impact Assessment Series: Domiciliary Care Allowance (2019)

- IGEES Spending Review: Review of Carer’s Supports (2019)

- IGEES Spending Review: Lone Parents and In-Work Supports for Families with Children (2019)

- Policy Review of Carer's Allowance (2019)

- Working paper: Evaluation of JobPath outcomes for Q1 2016 participants (2019)

- Review of the Financial Effects of Maintenance Payments in Means Testing (2019)

As the reviews listed above were undertaken by either Departmental or IGEES staff, no external costs were incurred.
