Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and Economic and Social Research Institute

2:00 pm

Mr. Seamus Coffey:

That is not analysis we undertake. We take the work done elsewhere, and the range is somewhere from 30,000 to 50,000 houses per annum. We are way below that now. I have outlined some of the variables included and the analysis would be about the assumptions made and, for example, what population growth, household sizes and net inward migration will be. That would probably give the difference between 30,000 and 50,000 units. That is the range but it is not the work we undertake.
