1012. To ask the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality if her Department will publish the procurement related payment reports (details supplied) in machine-readable formats such as CSV or excel on a quarterly basis, in line with open data standards; if not, the legal, technical, or operational constraints that prevent compliance with the requirement under S.I. No. 376/2021 to provide such documents in open, machine-readable formats for reuse; and the steps her Department has or plans to take to align its reporting practices with open data principles to improve accessibility, transparency, and re-use of this information by the public.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1011 and 1012 together.
Reports on my Department's purchase orders over €20,000 are published quarterly here: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-children-disability-and-equality/collections/department-of-children-equality-disability-integration-and-youth-purchase-orders-for-20000-or-above/#2025
Information relating to Q2 2025 has been posted to this location. The Q3 publication will follow in the middle of Q4.
My Department will publish this report in machine-readable formats such as CSV or Excel going forward, in line with open data standards.
