The Ministers and Secretaries Amendment Act 2011 transferred the functions relating to public expenditure, public service pay and pensions, and public service reform and modernisation, as well as some other functions relating to State assets and infrastructure, from the Minister of Finance to the (then) newly-created role of 'Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform'.
The Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 2011 is supplemented by two Orders, the Finance (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order 2011 ( SI No. 418 of 2011 ) which transferred a large number of specific statutory functions from the Department of Finance to the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, and the Finance (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) (No. 2) Order 2011 ( SI No. 480 of 2011 ) which adds a limited further list to the statutory functions transferred.
