Mr. Derek Moran:

So I think the answer is that, you know, people going with their different views to the Minister, no. How do we accommodate that now? We have ... we tend to take major policy issues, including the economic forecast, the economic outlook, to what we call a policy committee, which is a peer review committee within the Department. And we've broadened that over time, not to just be about sections or divisions bringing their policy initiatives for peer review, but to allow horizontal groups of people to bring it in, in terms of cross-divisions, but also importantly, I think, and it's to deal with the sort of situation, among other things, Deputy, that you're referring to, if an individual wants to do it, they can bring their views forward and, sort of, have them peer reviewed, you know, among peers at that fortnightly meeting.
