One of the significant changes that has taken place as we exit the bailout programme is that we are now into the stability treaty proper. We are a functioning member state that is not in a bailout programme. Country-specific recommendations will be issued to us as part of that, very much based upon what is best for the country and what might be decided in that regard. Those recommendations are addressed to the Irish Parliament for discussion, not just at Government level but in terms of the entire Parliament engaging with the process. Does the Minister envisage a role for this sub-committee, working with the Department, to provide some of that input?
