Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
As one will appreciate, in framing any budget, the Minister of the day will have a range of different ideas as to how he or she might spend money if it were available. What the Department does in terms of providing advice is carry out a social impact assessment of different options and make that available, but it all feeds into an overall approach.
