Our objective is to make a positive contribution to inform policies and activities which address the major fiscal, economic and societal issues and opportunities we face in Ireland, reflecting the global environment in which we operate. In particular, we aim to ensure that broader societal outcomes and objectives are reflected in the dialogue related to fiscal and economic matters.
