Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
Dr. Eddie Casey:
No. For example, I will deal with the war. The macroeconomic forecast behind the budgets, which go up to 2030, would say that the Ukrainian refugees we are supporting would remain in Ireland that far ahead. That is the central assumption. On the fiscal side, it is assumed that there are no costs after next year, which seems like a disconnect and is part of the strange presentation of the numbers that we would class as part of the gimmickry.
