Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Dr. Eddie Casey:

That is not something on which I have a personal view. The other question concerned other unknown unknowns in the general Government figures. By virtue of them being unknown unknowns, we do not know. It is really unfortunate that we cannot see more detail on this stuff because it is so big. As I say, this accounts for about a fifth of the overall activity that the Government participates in, both in what it puts into the economy and what it takes out. We just do not have enough detail on it.
