Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Equality Budgeting Initiative: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Ms Sarah Swaine:
While we are working with the Departments, as Mr. Beausang said, to drive improvements in quality, one of the things that really improves the quality of information we get to publish is when Members of the Oireachtas on the various sectoral committees and on this committee question Departments on the quality of the indicators and really scrutinise what is being provided. That has a knock-on effect that leads to better quality information being provided in future years. That is quite helpful.
