Mr. David Moloney:

The example, to give it again, is the Covid supports, particularly around labour market. The Deputy will be aware of the employment wage subsidy scheme and the pandemic unemployment payment. The design of those schemes was very heavily influenced by the work that IGEES had done. I suppose what IGEES does at this stage of its development even more so than anything else is it collects together a base of evidence or data which can inform how we think policies can be designed and what the impact of those policies are.
