363. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance if he will review the size limits applying to the VAT zero-rating of children’s footwear, in view of the fact that some children require shoe sizes above the qualifying limits and must therefore purchase VAT-liable adult footwear; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45915/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe VAT rating of goods and services is subject to the requirements of EU VAT law with which Irish VAT law must comply. In this regard, the rate of VAT that applies to a particular good or service is determined by the nature of the good or service, and not by the status of the customer.
Children's clothing and footwear are subject to the zero rate for children which is defined as the average build of a 10 year old in the VAT Consolidation Act 2010. The zero rating applies according to the following criteria:
• all children's clothing of sizes up to and including 32" chest or 26" waist; and,
• children's footwear up to and including size 5½ (38 continental or equivalent).
Under the EU VAT Directive, Member States may retain the zero rates on goods and services which were in place on 1 January 1991, but cannot extend the zero rate to new goods and services outside of specific categories in Annex III of that Directive. As a zero rate of VAT did not apply to larger shoes on 1 January 1991, it is not possible to apply the zero rate to them now.
364. Deputy Tom Brabazon asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation for an update on the proposed new divisional Garda headquarters at Northern Cross. [45784/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn Garda Síochána’s Capital Programme is agreed between An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.
In December 2025, the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration published its Sectoral Investment Plan for the Justice Sector.
The Sectoral Investment Plan for the Justice Sector includes a proposal for a new Divisional Headquarter campus in Dublin Metropolitan Region North Division, as part of a wider Construction and Estate Refurbishment Programme.
An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration are now engaged in a process to refine the Brief of Requirements for this Divisional Headquarter campus.
Once this process is complete, the Office of Public Works will engage with An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to support them in identifying and appraising the most suitable site/ sites to support their objectives.
Consistent with the requirements of the Infrastructure Guidelines, the Office of Public Works will be the project Contracting Authority.
The Office of Public Works will manage and deliver the project subject to the approval of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, as the Approving Authority, and in accordance with subsequent direction from An Garda Síochána, as Sponsoring Agency.
365. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation further to his statement during Oral Parliamentary Question No. 13 of 28 May 2026 that the publication of purchase order data over €20,000 stems from a commitment in the Programme for Government and public service reform plan 2011, whether it was the expectation of Government that all Departments, agencies and public bodies to which the requirement applied would implement and maintain publication arrangements in accordance with that commitment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44901/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra366. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether for procurement spend, a purchase order can be raised within his Department's financial management systems without reference to a contract, framework agreement, procurement process or other authorising arrangement; if so, the circumstances in which this may occur; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45170/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra367. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether an invoice can be paid by his Department without an associated purchase order having first been raised; if so, the circumstances in which this may occur; the number and value of payments made during quarter one of 2026 which were not associated with a purchase order [45188/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 365, 366 and 367 together.
As the Deputy is aware, on foot of a commitment in the Programme for Government in 2011, an action was included in the Public Service Reform Plan 2011 which required all Government Departments and public bodies to publish Purchase Orders (POs) over €20,000. It is the responsibility of all such bodies to adhere to this requirement and implement and maintain the necessary publication arrangements.
My own Department operates in accordance with Public Financial Procedures, the Public Spending Code and established internal control frameworks, which require that all POs on the Department's Financial Management System are supported by appropriate contracts and are in line with public procurement guidelines. There may be limited and exceptional circumstances where an invoice is processed without an associated PO. This usually arises for regular utility bills and travel costs. The number and value of payments made by my Department in the first quarter of the year which were not associated with a PO was €116,785 (237 items) out of total invoices paid amounting to €10.6 million (948 items).
368. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation to consider installing sun cream dispensers in OPW parks as piloted by the Irish Cancer Society and Cork County Council last summer. [45290/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of Public Works (OPW) acknowledges the pilot scheme recently undertaken in Cork and fully appreciates the importance of sun safety. To date, OPW has not formally considered the widespread installation of sun cream dispensers across its parks. Consequently, no costings have been developed for such an initiative.
The OPW remains interested in the findings of last summer's pilot scheme particularly in relation to the assessment of its effectiveness. The OPW will continue to promote public health guidance regarding skin protection by actively supporting the national SunSmart campaign, which is run annually by the Department of Health and the HSE.
369. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation if he has an any way to identify which Parliamentary Questions are AI generated; and the amount it costs, on average, to answer a Parliamentary Question. [45376/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department processes all Parliamentary Questions in the same manner and in line with the Standing Orders of Dáil Éireann. My Department does not have a specific technical mechanism in place to identify whether Parliamentary Questions have been generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
As regards the cost of answering a Parliamentary Question, this would vary based on the nature, complexity and type of question, the number and level of staff involved in preparing the response and how the relevant information is held within the Department or in the bodies under its aegis where relevant.
370. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 337 of 24 June 2025 and 492 of 18 March 2026, whether it is his Department’s position that the Government, the Department, or the Office of Government Procurement does not currently have a lawful basis under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 to collect and process the actual procurement payment data from public bodies for the purposes of public procurement reporting, expenditure analysis, transparency, aggregation of public spend, and policy development; if so, if he will identify the specific statutory or legal deficiency that prevents such processing; and if he intends to remedy it through legislation. [45549/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing receipt of legal advice from the Chief State Solicitor’s Office (CSSO) in July 2021, it was accepted that there was not, at that time, a sufficiently clear and robust lawful basis for the routine collection and processing by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) of certain procurement payment data from Public Service Bodies where such data could contain personal data. That advice identified deficiencies in the legal clarity and foreseeability underpinning inter-public-body data sharing, particularly in respect of bodies outside central government.
Since that advice issued, the OGP and the Department have engaged with the CSSO and the Office of the Attorney General, and internally with the Department’s Data Protection Officer (DPO) and the Data Governance Unit in the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) — the unit responsible for data policy and implementation of the Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019. This engagement has focused on addressing the issues identified and on placing the collection and use of procurement spend data on a more explicit and defensible legal footing, including consideration of the interaction between the GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 2011, and the Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019.
In December 2025, further correspondence confirmed that, subject to appropriate governance, transparency and data-sharing arrangements, procurement spend data could again be collected and processed on the basis of Article?6(1)(e) GDPR, with the act of data sharing between public bodies to be underpinned by formal Data Sharing Agreements in accordance with the Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019.
Work is now progressing to implement this approach. This includes the preparation of Data Sharing Agreements with relevant public bodies, the establishment of the necessary governance arrangements, and phased engagement to enable lawful, transparent and proportionate data sharing.
371. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation if the OPW or his Department have ever denied a funding request for Clontarf flood defence works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45565/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraDublin City Council was granted planning permission for a flood relief scheme for Clontarf in 2008. Following significant public objection to the proposed scheme, City Councillors passed a resolution not to proceed with the construction of the project in late 2011. The Office of Public Works (OPW) highlighted to the Council that it was open to the Council to reapply to the OPW for funding for the scheme in the future.
The OPW is currently engaging with Dublin City Council to progress the design of a flood relief scheme for Clontarf. In February 2026, Dublin City Council highlighted it wished to progress the coastal flood protection works planned for Clontarf Promenade as an integral component of a broader Masterplan for Clontarf. This Plan incorporates the coastal flood protection works with a number of significant public realm enhancements and infrastructural elements. Funding for this scheme is available from the Government’s €1.3bn allocation for the delivery of flood relief schemes under the National Development Plan.
Pending the design and completion of a permanent scheme, I prioritised the replacement of the sandbag structures that were temporarily installed as flood protection along the promenade. Following my engagement with the Council and the local community I committed €120,000 for the replacement of the sandbags with interlocking barriers that were successfully installed by February 2026.
In April, 2026, I further allocated €591,440 (incl VAT) to Dublin City Council to introduce interim flood protection measures, in response to flooding that occurred during Storm Chandra in January for works at locations across Clontarf including Clontarf Road, Alfie Byrne Road and Clontarf Baths.
Localised flooding issues are a matter, in the first instance, for each Local Authority to investigate and address, and a Local Authority may carry out flood mitigation works using its own resources. Local Authorities may apply to the OPW for funding for flood mitigation and coastal protection works under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme (Minor Works Scheme). The purpose of the Minor Works Scheme is to provide funding to Local Authorities to undertake minor flood mitigation works or studies to address localised flooding and coastal protection problems within their administrative areas. The scheme generally applies where a solution can be readily identified and achieved in a short time frame.
On the 25th May 2026, I announced that details of the revised criteria for the Minor Works Scheme are available, and greatly increased the scope of the scheme to provide local authorities with a greater opportunity to address localised flooding and coastal erosion risks within their administrative areas. The revisions include an increase in the upper threshold in funding for projects from €750,000 to €2 million and an increase in the OPW contribution from 90% to 95% for approved funding above €300,000. This is a demand led scheme and is available to all local authorities, including Dublin City Council.
372. Deputy Micheál Carrigy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation to provide an update on plans for the Corlea Trackway; the timeframe for the implementation; the funding available; the start date for the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45595/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Corlea Trackway, located near Kenagh Village in County Longford, is an extensive 18m Iron Age oak trackway constructed in 148BC, which provides a unique insight into prehistoric engineering, ancient Irish boglands, society and ritual activity. It is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries and the largest of its kind in Europe. Discovered during Bord na Móna’s peat extraction in the midlands in the 1980s, the timbers are vulnerable to environmental damage from changing humidity and temperatures and in recent times, conservation cleaning of the Trackway has been undertaken by the Office of Public Works (OPW). The Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre features an interpretive exhibition, which presents and preserves “a pathway to the past” and a significant heritage site.
This project is among the first round of approved investment grants for projects announced by Fáilte Ireland that are being delivered as part of its Regenerative Tourism and Placemaking Scheme, under the EU Just Transition Fund. The Corlea Trackway project was granted €262k under this scheme for the development of a feasibility project exploring the sustainable development of the project and its interactions with the wider destination including developments along the canals and surrounding protected living bogland.
Following a competitive tender process, the OPW appointed Hall McKnight to undertake the feasibility study examining options for the future development of the Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre and its associated visitor infrastructure. The study is now nearing completion, and its findings will be considered by the OPW in consultation with relevant stakeholders. Subject to approval, and the availability of funding, proposals arising from the study will be progressed: however, no decisions have yet been made regarding scope, timing, or implementation of any future development works. Any future works will be subject to planning consents and availability of resources.
373. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the number of WTE painter and decorators employed by the OPW as of 10 June 2026; and if he will provide the same figures as of 1 January 2024, in tabular form. [45749/26]

374. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the Minister, Department, office, or unit that has operational responsibility for the implementation of the Government digital wallet. [45843/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraOperational responsibility for the implementation of the Government Digital Wallet rests with the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) within my Department, which is leading on product development, technical delivery, and ongoing technical support.
Further information about the wallet is available at the following FAQ link: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-public-expenditure-infrastructure-public-service-reform-and-digitalisation/publications/government-digital-wallet-your-questions-answered/.
375. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the measures being put in place to ensure that the Government digital wallet remains genuinely optional in practice; and that citizens who do not use it are not disadvantaged in accessing public services. [45844/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Digital Wallet is being developed in line with the EU eIDAS 2 Regulation, which requires the State to make a Digital Wallet available, however, its use by citizens is voluntary.
As per the Regulation (eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1183/oj/eng), “The use of European Digital Identity Wallets shall be voluntary. Access to public and private services, access to the labour market and freedom to conduct business shall not in any way be restricted or made disadvantageous to natural or legal persons that do not use European Digital Identity Wallets. It shall remain possible to access public and private services by other existing identification and authentication means.”
Responsibility for ensuring that this is adhered to as the use of the wallet in integrated with any given service will lie with the provider of that service in the first instance, with the measures needed to ensure no-one is disadvantaged by choosing not to use the digital wallet needing to be assessed on a case by case basis.
Consistent with wider Government policy on digital public services, Ireland operates a “digital first, not digital only” approach. This ensures that individuals who cannot or do not wish to engage digitally will continue to have access to services through alternative channels.

376. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the specific safeguards that will prevent the Government digital wallet from becoming a de facto mandatory access mechanism for public services. [45845/26]

377. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether privacy impact assessments, data protection impact assessments, security assessments, or plain-English privacy architecture documents for the Government digital wallet will be published before full rollout. [45846/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Digital Wallet is being developed in line with the EU eIDAS 2 Regulation, which requires the State to make a Digital Wallet available and sets out EU regulatory requirements on security, certification, interoperability and data protection.
The Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation is committed to full transparency in the technical development and delivery of digital public infrastructure, and will ensure that key elements are accessible, explainable, and subject to appropriate public and expert scrutiny.
This will include publishing the source code under open licences, as well as making the technical specifications and standards publicly accessible, which will include information on data use and flows, in line with best practice on technical product development.
This information will be made available on the Department’s website in due course.

378. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether the Government digital wallet will use persistent identifiers, identity matching, or any mechanism that could enable cross-service tracking or profiling. [45847/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Digital Wallet is being developed in line with the EU eIDAS 2 Regulation, which requires the State to make a Digital Wallet available.
In line with the requirements under the EU eIDAS Regulation, the design of the Government Digital Wallet is explicitly privacy-preserving and user-centric in that individuals retain full control over what data is shared and with whom. Only the minimum data necessary for a transaction is disclosed supporting data minimisation and selective disclosure. Personal data is not tracked or recorded centrally by Government, and is stored securely on the user’s device and data exchanges occur via secure, authenticated connections directly between the user and the relevant service provider.
Before any credential can be added to the wallet, users must first sign in with their MyGovID account. This will allow users verify their identity, allowing service providers to deliver more seamless, joined up public services according to the relevant eligibility and entitlement rules for these services. Verifying identity is already a core requirement of public service provision, and the wallet will enable this in a way that is convenient and secure, with all sharing of information via the wallet at the discretion of the user.

379. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation which body is responsible for monitoring whether “digital by default” policies are becoming “digital only” in practice, particularly for older citizens and digitally excluded groups. [45848/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs per the Regulation (eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1183/oj/eng), “The use of European Digital Identity Wallets shall be voluntary. Access to public and private services, access to the labour market and freedom to conduct business shall not in any way be restricted or made disadvantageous to natural or legal persons that do not use European Digital Identity Wallets.

Better Public Services Strategy commits to ensure inclusive, high quality and integrated public service provision that meets the needs and improves the lives of the people of Ireland.
Consistent with wider Government policy on digital public services, Ireland operates a “digital first, not digital only” approach. This ensures that individuals who cannot or do not wish to engage digitally will continue to have access to services through alternative channels.
380. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the way in which the commitments in the Digital Inclusion Roadmap are being measured, reported, and enforced; and whether any measurable outcomes or accountability structures exist. [45849/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware Digital Ireland, the new National Digital and Artificial Intelligence Strategy, was published earlier this year. Digital for Good: Ireland’s Digital Inclusion Roadmap was a key input to that strategy in which Government renewed its commitment to inclusion and accessibility so that no one is left behind. As with the Roadmap, progress reporting on digital inclusion will be included with updates on the Digital Ireland strategy.
The Government’s aim continues to be to make the digital transition a positive one for those who can engage digitally and to provide support or an alternative for those who cannot. By enabling and encouraging those who can use digital services to do so, Government will redirect resources in a range of ways to provide a much better service to those who may need assistance. We will use digital to improve the off-line experience for those who are unable or do not wish to consume services digitally. The Government also recognises that digital public services must be accessible, literacy-friendly, equitable, and inclusive, designed to reach all groups in society, including those who are digitally disadvantaged and lack digital skills.
The continued progress with and success of initiatives such as the Adult Literacy for Life strategy, the National Broadband Plan and Broadband for Schools programmes, as well as the extensive mobile coverage from commercial operators, are ensuring members of the public have access to the connectivity and skills needed to access digital services.
Finally, I would like to draw the Deputy’s attention to the Charter for Digital Inclusion announced previously by my colleague the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation. The Charter outlines a set of core commitments focused on accessibility, equity, affordability, and the development of digital skills and is, as a framework for collaboration between the public sector, large enterprises, SMEs, community organisations and citizens. The Charter will continue to form part of Government’s efforts to ensure no one is left behind.
381. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether digital exclusion risks in essential private-sector services, including banking, utilities, telecommunications, insurance, and healthcare access, are being assessed as part of the wider Government digital wallet programme. [45850/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Digital Wallet is being developed in line with the EU eIDAS 2 Regulation, which requires the State to make a Digital Wallet available and for certain private sector entities to accept the Government Digital wallet and European equivalents.
The Government Digital Wallet will play a key role in supporting access to public services, while also enabling interoperability with private-sector services under the EU framework.
Private-sector adoption, for example in banking or telecommunications, will occur within the regulated eIDAS framework, which sets requirements for security, authentication and user control. The Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment’s Charter For Digital Inclusion (enterprise.gov.ie/en/what-we-do/supports-for-smes/digital-transformation/charter-for-digital-inclusion/) brings together public bodies, businesses, and community organisations to ensure Ireland remains a global digital leader while supporting those who are not yet able to fully engage online, and build a more inclusive digital future. It places a strong emphasis on partnership, including the role of larger organisations in supporting SMEs and local communities to adopt and benefit from digital technologies. Through collaboration, the Charter supports organisations across all sectors to improve equitable access to digital technologies, services, and opportunities.
382. Deputy Shay Brennan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether a formal public consultation report will be published showing how privacy, accessibility, and inclusion concerns raised by citizens have influenced the design of the Government digital wallet. [45851/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Digital Wallet is being developed in line with the EU eIDAS 2 Regulation, which requires the State to make a Digital Wallet available.
A formal public consultation process is underway since April 2026 to gather views from citizens, stakeholders and experts.
This is complemented by public testing on an opt-in basis, with feedback directly informing the final design, prioritisation of features, and safeguards.
The consultation will close on 24 June 2026 and shortly after this a summary of the responses along with submissions from the organisations which responded to the questionnaire will be published on the department’s website.
Further information about the Government Digital Wallet consultation is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-public-expenditure-infrastructure-public-service-reform-and-digitalisation/consultations/consultation-on-the-government-digital-wallet/.
