Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
Mr. Michael Tutty:
I am afraid that in response to the first questions I must go back to what Mr. Coffey said at the start, namely, that the council's mandate does not cover commenting on the choice of individual tax measures or spending. It is not within our remit to get into what particular tax broadening measures we should have or what carbon tax or carbon dividends we should have and we should not comment on it.
