Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Fiscal Assessment Report 2013: Discussion with Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

5:15 pm

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

While there is a point at which such matters could become a concern, they would first have to reach a certain level of impact on the overall economy. One must also remember that the council has been operating for only two years and is gradually building up its analytical tools. As time passes, our analysis will become more granular and precise. We are not currently at a point where we address issues of the type raised by the Deputy, although we may do so at some stage.
