Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

We have not gone into much detail on it and I do not think it is really within our mandate to do so, but health spending does have a very important bearing on the broader public finances. Dr. Casey and Killian Carroll of IFAC produced an analytical note a week or so before the fiscal assessment report came out. It looked at the trends and some of the issues in respect of budgeting in the health system, along with other information. Dr. Casey may wish to come in at this point.
