This is just a thought on equality budgeting. One problem is having too many agencies that are interested in the sector. For example, in addition to the Equality Budgeting Campaign, there are organisations such as Social Justice Ireland, the Conference of Religious of Ireland, CORI, and so on. It would be really useful were all these organisations to get together and to have a single dedicated function because the Government always will play one off against the other. It will state it already has that information, just as it is telling the Equality Budgeting Campaign. Do the witnesses follow me?
