Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Irish Fiscal Advisory Council: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Seamus Coffey:
That policy has been announced and will be approximately €700 million, and at present figures that brings us down to approximately €500 million. Various commitments on public sector pay have also been announced. Space is available but much of it has been used by pre-existing measures. In respect of the demographic figure, the assumptions we make and the outcomes tend to be quite close. We are more or less similar.
