Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Examination of EU Fiscal Rules (Resumed): Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Dr. Eddie Casey:

In my estimation, probably not a lot. It is very unlikely that Ireland would give the EU a set of forecasts showing an increase in the debt ratio above 60%. It is almost implausible that a state would put forward projections that would have any credibility in that regard. Why would it do so in the first place?

It is just unlikely. They are not going to be setting any adjustment paths for Ireland; it will just be a set of forecasts really.
