Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
Mr. Sebastian Barnes:
There are different examples. The UK model is to do a really big one every couple of years. Other countries, over a five-year cycle, will look over all the major aspects. A lesson from these things is that a lot depends on the political commitment behind it. Some UK ones have been very good and rigorous; some have not reached that standard.
