Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion

3:40 pm

Ms Mary Rose Burke:

We will certainly do so. Our submission contains a table showing that if no adjustment is made, we would meet the deficit targets this year on current run rates. However, we feel that to be more prudent than the commitments already given and to make changes to the structure of Revenue and taxation, we need to see some of the changes we suggest. However, if the Minister stood up and sat down again, we would still come under the 3% deficit target.
