Another issue is similar to one I raised before. One of the issues that has been raised with the committee in terms of the Minister's presentation is that some output measures are not specific enough to be meaningful in a performance budgeting context. One example relates to higher education. It mentions significantly progressing the NUIG human biology building, but it does not say how or with what. There is not much to that. What is the Minister's view on the publication of measures that do not have specific targets associated with them? Are there any plans to improve on that? Obviously, that would have been flagged with Department officials.
