It is important to be tight in defining these things. The wording is that the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council "shall endorse", while the requirement from the troika concerns whether the forecasts have been endorsed. The council can either endorse or not endorse. Perhaps the wording should be "shall endorse or not endorse, as appropriate".
