Ms Mary Rose Burke:

In terms of equality budgets, if one looks at our major policy campaign, which is quite separate to the budget submissions, one of our key metrics we are looking at for 2020 is to have Ireland in the top five of the OECD measures of great places to live. It is not just about the financials of a budget; it is very much around making sure Ireland is a good place to work, live and invest. It is not just about finance; it is about taking it in the round. It is about absolutely making sure that this country is a good place for all citizens to live.
