Joint Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands calls for submissions as part of its pre-budget scrutiny process  

The Joint Committee chaired by Deputy Denis Naughten will examine the overall fiscal position, public expenditure policy, exchequer receipts policy, and matters which have a significant impact on the budgetary position or fiscal policy of both Departments.

The Joint Committee will consider any suitable written submissions received and may decide to invite a number of contributors to public hearings, should it be considered necessary.

The submissions received will feed into the budgetary processes of both the Department of Social Protection and the Department of Rural and Community Development.

The closing date for receipt of submissions is 5pm on Friday, 31 May 2024.

Queries regarding the written submissions can be sent to the Joint Committee on Social Protection, Community & Rural Development & the Islands by email, spcri@oireachtas.ie.
