I take Professor McHale's point that certain aspects of the book are not the business of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, but if it is a factor in producing instability in the economy, is this not something about which the council has to worry? This is something towards which he is pointing, and I agree that rapidly growing levels of inequality are a factor of instability in an economy.
