Since 2017, the Spending Review has become a key platform for evaluative analysis across the Civil Service. While Value for Money and Policy Reviews continue to be produced across a number of Departments, some of this work is now completed as part of the Spending Review which is led by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. More details on the process can be found here: www.gov.ie/en/policy-information/7dc2b1-spending-review/. Since 1 January 2109, there have been 3 Spending Review papers published on policy areas relating to my Department (see attached table for details). The Reviews are performed in collaboration between my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with no associated external costs arising.
