Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Public Service Performance Report 2023: Department of Social Protection

Mr. Niall Egan:

Are not availing of it. With the expansion of the parental benefit scheme announced in the budget, there are a further nine weeks on top of the paternity benefit, which we must also consider. We report into a separate reporting mechanism for sustainable development goals. As part of that, our colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform asked us, in preparation for next year, to undertake a budget tagging exercise in line with the sustainable development goals. I am confident that will be in next year's report. That is in addition to separate reporting we do under the sustainable development goals.
