Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe and I thank them for their presentation and the documents they submitted prior to the meeting. Previous speakers asked a number of the questions I intended asking. Reading through the high level metrics, I note the use of the word "unambitious". Ms Ní Chaithnía stated that the equality budgeting initiative needed to remain focused. What should the programme do next year? Would the witnesses be satisfied if it were applied to the same types of areas and operated within its current limitations or must it become much more ambitious? What should be the next step?
