There is a consensus emerging on the template of the IFAC and the reporting structure, including to Committee Stage. I am a member of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and the IFAC appears before it regularly.

There is a crossover of information.

Will Mr. Coghlan give some practical examples with regard to the Action Plan for Jobs, as I am interested in that element of the report?

We have all become hung up on the word "target". Head 3 of the Bill mentions future international agreements, taking in 2020 and 2030, which will certainly outline clear objectives. Friends of the Earth has been quite critical of the Bill in press releases so could the witness point out some of the benefits in it?
