Amharc ar fhreagraOwnership of individual PPP projects remains with the Sponsoring Authority who retain responsibility for all financial data. DPERs role in relation to PPPs is to facilitate the PPP process centrally by developing the general policy framework (including, where necessary, the legal framework) within which PPPs operate and by providing central guidance to Departments and other State Authorities in that context. A full suite of guidance has been published to facilitate the PPP process and is available on the Central PPP Unit's website at www.ppp.gov.ie. The guidance dovetails with the Public Spending Code.
As agreed with the Deputy's office updated data regarding PPP costs is currently being collated from departments and will be provided in the coming weeks.
