This is something we have been talking about for a while. Our objective as a committee is to move towards a different and preferred model for the 2016 Estimates. There have been suggestions that the committee will generate a report from today's meeting and officials will come back with suggestions or feedback based on what they have heard. The Minister said she might get somebody to prepare a paper on it. My preferred approach would be to work together to come up with something involving officials from the committee secretariat, the Minister's officials and as many members of the committee as would be interested, to see to what degree we can come up with a preferred model that would work for Ireland.
