Professor Niamh Moloney:

I wish to follow up on Dr. Roantree's comments. Since we had such a wide brief, the terms of reference kept us very much on message or helped us to manage our mandate for the year. The question we are referring to was not in the terms of reference. The report is designed to be an enduring document and therefore contains a lot of data, including from international sources, the EU, the UK, the OECD and the Commission. The report is therefore a very big resource when it comes to looking into the future. It does not just consider Ireland and its needs but also draws lessons from many other jurisdictions.
