Speaking at the Public Affairs Ireland (PAI) Public Procurement Annual Conference today, the Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan TD with responsibility for Public Procurement, Open Government and eGovernment commented: “The Irish public service must fully embrace digital transformation to modernise its front and back office processes, making our public services more efficient and responsive. The European eInvoicing Standard and the PEPPOL eDelivery network, which the Irish Government has chosen as the network for transmitting eProcurement documents including eInvoices, offer Irish companies the opportunity to do business with public and private sectors across Europe, and beyond, through the greater use of digital – one of six high-level outcomes in Our Public Service 2020”.
