Mr. Derek Moran:

A lot of the issues raised by Deputy Connolly, be they health or housing are sectoral issues that are dealt with in policy spaces other than the Department of Finance. What we try to do is take an overview of the financial and economic position into which all of those challenges fit. In terms of whether we talk to representative groups or people about those sorts of challenges, the answer is "Yes".
