Impact of Brexit on Ireland's Economy: Economic and Social Research Institute

I have a brief question before I call Deputy Burton. It relates to the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council’s analysis a few days ago. I apologise if somebody else has asked this question but I am curious about it based on the ESRI's analysis. Effectively, the council examined consumer spending and employment and found the impacts of a no-deal Brexit or a disorderly exit would be in line with what the Government had said but it felt it might not even be as bad as that. I note the ESRI's analysis with regard to a 4.8% figure in a no-deal scenario. Do our guests have any comment on what the council reported versus the ESRI's analysis?
