Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
Dr. Eddie Casey:
We hope to publish it in January, but it might be February. The idea is to publish a statement of data needs each year and follow the progress in respect of things we find important to do our work. If we do not assess that they are produced or progress has been made in the course of the year, we will revisit it and show what kind of progress has been made. It is something that councils such as ours internationally have done and that has had a big impact and improved the overall scene. The Chairman is correct. It is the type of thing we would like to see so that we can measure impact and really assess the benefit of public spending overall.
