Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

The answer is that it is a big project that would be the work of many hands. It is an issue we are thinking about more but we are not experts on climate or whatever. We know about the public finances. We can think about it but we may have to partner with many other organisations. It should be a massive priority for organisations such as the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES. In addition, research institutes such as the ESRI and universities can all play their part. Ms Holland and Dr. Casey may have further thoughts on the issue.
