After the most recent general election, there was much discussion about changing the budgetary process. I understand this arose as a result of a European or international report which stated that Ireland placed far too much emphasis on what was called "one big bang" on budget day and we needed a more elongated budgetary process that was more consultative, engaging and so on. As this issue comes within Mr. Watt's remit and a number of promises were made in respect of establishing an independent budgetary office, will he explain what the new elongated budgetary process consists of or was to consist of?
