153. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Defence to provide the web link to her Department’s Q2 2026 published report of purchase orders/payments over €20,000, in line with the FOI model publication scheme requirements; to confirm the date on which this report was published; and, if it has not yet been published, the planned publication date. [51560/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department routinely publishes details of Purchase Orders for goods and services valued at more than €20,000, on foot of a previous Programme for Government commitment and in accordance with the FOI Model Publication Scheme & Guidance published by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. This Scheme requires the Department to publish as much information as possible in an open and accessible manner on a routine basis, and financial information, procurement information and the FOI Disclosure Log is published on the Department's website in this regard.
Purchase Order reports up to and including Quarter 1 2026 are published on the Department of Defence website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/b61276-purchase-orders-over-20000/
The reports are published in machine readable PDF format which is in compliance with S.I. No 376/2021. I am advised that a small number of Purchase Orders are excluded from the published list for security and operational reasons.
It is anticipated that the Purchase Order report for Quarter 2 will be published before the end of Quarter 3 of this year.
