Committee on Arrangements for Budgetary Scrutiny

Engagement with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission

4:00 pm

I take the Deputy's point about limiting the mandate to the budget and not extending it to the finance Bill. That is a matter for Members.

We, the commission want to have as much impact as possible but it is totally legitimate to suggest on a practical basis that the commission could come up with some high level principles or guidance-----
