Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Pre-Budget Statement: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

I will set out some quick answers. When we talk about the overall package of €2.4 billion, we are looking at it as a combined package and its impact on the deficit. If people want to propose balanced-budget changes to that, whereby they raise certain taxes and increase spending, we have no issues with that, given our mandate.
