Public Services Provision
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-28
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

My question is related and asks the Minister what he is doing to protect public service provision in light of the levies he has put on other Departments. We keep hearing about efficiencies and reform, and we are all for that, but it is quite vague. There has been strong criticism of his budgetary process from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council. Has he taken on board its criticisms and what changes will he make in light of that?
