Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

2:00 pm

Mr. Eddie Casey:

On the question on engagement, the secretariat of the council met the team and provided technical support. We had produced publications in this area previously in which we considered total investment expenditure, depreciation and the public capital stock. The authors of the report were interested in obtaining our views in this regard. We found the team to be very effective. The report is an excellent one. I will let Mr. Seamus Coffey elaborate on the content.
