Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Public Service Performance Report 2017: Discussion

2:00 pm

Ms Caroline O'Loughlin:

In the 2018 budgetary cycle, equality budgeting is a pilot. Due to the timing of publication, the information in the performance report only covers the first quarter. Equality budgeting is something that will evolve in the short term. In the coming months, an expert steering group will be established to guide us in terms of the next steps in the equality budgeting process. We expect that will be expanded to cover other areas in the next budgetary cycle.
