Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

With regard to the balance and the targeting around the welfare system, and also targeting around the tax system, it is important to note that there are people who would not be particularly covered by the welfare system and for whom this is still a major shock. Perhaps this could be thought about more broadly. On the amounts, these are very difficult political decisions to be taken. The council does not have a view on that.
