Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ed Hearne:
I will add to that point briefly. We do not just view this as tagging initiatives that try to obviate a particular type of inequality. We need to have the data to be able screen all programmes across all sectors for the various intended and unintended impacts they may have. The starting point will be those programmes that target particular inequalities, but we need to be able to do more screening at the outset in the long term. That will inform how tagging and tracking develops over time.
