263. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Defence to confirm, in respect of her 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 her Department will make the original Excel or CSV file available alongside the PDF in the interest of transparency, accessibility and data re-use.
