A running history of what has changed on Public Purse.
Matthew Fenlon/TPSA and Albert Dolan TD shared the reference list showing where the underlying data can be found. The list has been built up over time through extensive research and sustained engagement with public bodies, including getting bodies to meet their existing obligations to publish purchase order/payment data.
Through Albert’s PQs and PAC work, and direct engagement with bodies, a significant number of organisations have published their data for the first time, including Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board/Children’s Hospital and the Arts Council, among others.
That work forms part of the wider “Golden Thread” project which has the goal of making it possible to trace public money from tender → contract award → purchase order → payment.
