Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Scrutiny of Tax Expenditures (Resumed)
Mr. Seamus Coffey:
This is a matter on which IFAC does not have a view. We see Brexit as bringing about the potential need for additional spending but whether that happens through the social protection system or a system of employment supports is a matter for those involved in the political process to decide. We are more concerned about the outcome for the overall public finances. We do not have a view on how such supports, if they are to be offered, should be provided.
