Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report November 2018: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
2:00 pm
Mr. Seamus Coffey:
We agree with the Deputy. Under our assessment of the fiscal risks for budget 2019, there is a general risk on budgetary pressures, within which we clearly say that the political cycle may also increase near-term budgetary pressures. As my colleague, Mr. Tutty, said earlier this something we have experienced in Ireland going back over many decades and it is something we are aware of.
