In his opening statement, Professor FitzGerald stated:
With all ESRI reports, the conclusions in each report were the personal responsibility of the authors. They did not represent the views of the ESRI. The ESRI with all its publications operates a quality control process where the publications were vetted in advance by independent reviewers to ensure they met an appropriate academic standard.
Does this apply to the ESRI’s economic quarterly commentaries and medium-term reviews? If that is the case, will he explain why these outputs did not represent the collective views of the organisation?
