Public Expenditure Policy
Dail Éireann — 2025-11-05
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I ask the Minister about the spending reviews carried out this year that were not published, as had been the practice in previous years. Why were no spending reviews published in the run-up to the budget? How many spending reviews were carried out this year that were not published? Why has the practice of publishing these reviews been abandoned? Does the Minister agree the public has a right to know what is in these reviews? Will he publish all spending reviews that have been carried out? When will he publish them?
