The committee secretariat has received a motion from Deputy Timmy Dooley concerning the Department of Finance briefing of members of this committee on macroeconomic forecasts, as will be the case for the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, in advance of the budget. I will now call on Deputy Dooley to speak on his motion and will then call on Deputy Kevin Humphreys to respond, as the latter has received a letter from the Minister for Finance.
