Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2026
406. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation if there will be further public consultation on his Departments’ national public procurement strategy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5606/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe public consultation phase to inform the development of the national procurement strategy has concluded. I recognise that consultation and collaboration are central to ensuring that the strategy works for all of those involved. With that in mind, my department has continued to engage with key stakeholders during the development phase. My officials are currently engaging with key government departments and agencies to finalise actions for inclusion in the strategy. In parallel, my department has been engaging with business representative bodies in the process of applying the SME Test to the strategy.
