Summer Economic Statement
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-11
============================================================

Patrick O'Donovan (FG), Limerick County

I thank the Deputy for the question. It is going to form not only a part of the summer economic statement but also, more broadly, a part of the national economic dialogue. Returning to what the Deputy said a while ago in respect of open government, I think he will appreciate that the national economic dialogue is yet another example of such open government and the open government partnership. That dialogue will take place in the summer as well and it will provide people with varying views and perspectives in respect of concepts of well-being and what they believe is fundamental to having a good quality of life. It will allow all these issues to be thrashed out and it will inform the debate for this House, for committees, for Departments and for Deputies from all the different parties in advance of the budgetary discussions that will take place internally in our own parties and thereafter on the floor of this House.
