Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

5:00 pm

Professor John McHale:

It is the slippage and the fact that, if this is the path we are on, the framework will not be there when we really need it. However, I am not saying it is going to happen next year and it may not happen in five years. If we are forgetting the lesson this quickly and starting to slowly abandon the framework, it could happen again.
