Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion. (20 Jul 2017)

Dara Calleary: Again, we will agree to disagree. We would prefer it if the Minister outlined his expenditure plans at the committee so that they would be subject to scrutiny rather than us or his ministerial colleagues reading about them in the Sunday Independent.
