Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On 20 April, I asked the Minister's Department to provide me with details on all consultant contracts of public bodies, and that included RTÉ.

That is a...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am just stepping in for the Cathaoirleach while he is out of the room. I thank Ms O'Loughlin for her statement. This is a very important document, which I have read with interest. I will ask questions first.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Public Service Performance Report 2022 (28 Jun 2023)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Public Service Performance Report 2022 (28 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am watching the clock and I do not want to go over time. I do not want to pick on the Department of Social Protection, as I think it is one of the few examples in this document of a Department in which genuine performance-based budgeting is taking place. That Department sets a real target for poverty reduction and measures itself against it. However, the Department of the Environment,...

Although there is still a long way to go in some...
