Albert Dolan

Ceist:

347. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance to confirm, in respect of his Department’s published quarterly reports of procurement-related payments or purchase orders over €20,000 (details supplied), where such reports are published in PDF format but originate from an Excel or similar spreadsheet file, that the underlying data was fully expanded and validated prior to conversion so that all columns including supplier names and descriptions are fully visible and readable in the published document; to clarify whether any quality assurance process is applied to ensure that data is not truncated or partially obscured in the PDF version; and where the source file exists in machine-readable format, whether his Department will make the original Excel or CSV file available alongside the PDF in the interest of transparency, accessibility and data re-use. [16585/26]

I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department has published the quarterly purchase orders reports for goods and services exceeding €20,000 in accordance with the requirements of S.I. 376/2021 in both PDF and CSV format.

The material is fully expanded and validated prior to publication. All information is fully visible in both formats.

My Department is committed to openness and transparency in all aspects of our work, and continues to review its practices to ensure it is compliant with relevant legislation.
