On productivity and performance, as a member of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service, I have asked for the programme, Sustaining Progress, and benchmarking to be discussed at our meeting in September. We, in the Oireachtas, are very well paid. While experts appear before meetings of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service, there is not adequate research. The Oireachas Library does all it can and those who work in it are outstanding but it is under-resourced. Our party research office is doing its best to cope with everybody. I would like to have objective research, which would not necessarily simply reflect Government policy. This particularly pertains to the short-term to medium-term economic outlook, both nationally and internationally.
