Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Updated Economic and Fiscal Position in Advance of Budget 2023: Discussion

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

Absolutely. In these circumstances which, as the Deputy says, are extreme and have been provoked by war and in which people are really suffering, temporary measures are entirely appropriate. We can finance them in a way through the money that is coming through corporation tax but if we did not have that money, we could also finance it through borrowing.
