Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)

Réada Cronin: Yes. We should not be using all these acronyms. We suggested that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform would partner with other jurisdictions to see who has experience in equality budgeting and gender budgeting.
