Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Equality Budgeting Initiative: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
2:00 pm
Mr. William Beausang:
From the work we have done over the last year, we have learned the importance of input from the experts. There is a lot of expertise and understanding of what does and does not work and of how we should move forward with an initiative like this. We will be seeking to draw on that expertise and understanding so that at some stage in the course of this budget cycle we can come back to the committee and update it not just on what we have achieved in terms of looking at the initial indicators, but on our ambitions for the initiative's development into the future, reflecting the requirement which the Deputy sought here this afternoon. As we understand it, there needs to be a stepping up over time as the initiative is developed.
