Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Caroline O'Loughlin:

One that comes straight to mind is that we have done an awful lot of work with our colleagues in the Department of Health in the disability sector. We worked three years ago with them. They rewrote all of their performance metrics regarding disability expenditure of €2 billion in that particular year. It gave much more detailed information and shone light on what impact exactly that expenditure was having. It was a key tool as negotiations and resource allocation went on for the year. That would be one example of how it has improved the available data for future decisions.
