Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Shane Conneely:
We would have to agree. A lot of progress has been made. Things are getting better. The issue is probably not about unhelpfulness within Departments. Very often, data are not collected in a way that makes it useful for further analysis. We routinely find that great projects have been done and reports published but websites are not updated and everything gets old and vanishes into the mists of time. That is a bigger issue than Departments withholding information.
