Fiscal Assessment Report September 2012: Discussion with Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
4:00 pm
Mr. Sebastian Barnes:
Deputy O'Donnell raised a number of good questions that have been answered to an extent by my colleagues, but I will add a few more comments. In terms of delaying, as Professor McHale stated, the basic issue is that Ireland is still in a fragile position from which it must extricate itself, albeit not as quickly as possible, since it would be a trade-off.
