Dr. Robert Sweeney:

Obviously, if a member state damages its export base, it will have a deleterious impact on employment and hence knock-on effects for the public finances. Of course, if a strategically important sector of the economy is harmed, it will have knock-on applications. I do not really have a view on the extent. It is not my area of expertise or my remit in the report on the fiscal rules as to whether Ireland should focus its emissions reduction targets on the agricultural sector versus the transport sector. I know a little bit about the housing sector, but I would not like to comment too much.
