Mr. Derek Moran:
It is likely that the 0.4% deterioration associated with the automatic stabilisers - the tax take falling away and social spending going up - would be front-loaded. It would have a bigger impact in 2020 and it would ease off somewhat in 2021. We are doing these sorts of exercises at the moment to prepare for the autumn.
