In an effort to tighten state spending oversight, the government has introduced new financial reporting procedures in light of recent spending controversies, including an expensive and unused art scanner and the National Children's Hospital's staggering costs. The revised approach consolidates reporting into a single memo, increasing transparency and allowing for better management of taxpayer money. This reform aims to ensure that the escalating costs associated with state projects are more visible and scrutinized, aiming for improved accountability.
The move is to more effectively manage state spending by strengthening financial procedures, driving better value for money at the heart of decision-making.
The National Children's Hospital has cost €2bn, making it the most expensive health facility in the world, originally estimated at under €300m.
