Given the poor level of general Government expenditure, the priority ought to be investment in the kinds of capital infrastructure projects we all agree should be prioritised. Turning to carbon budgeting, and while that does not necessarily involve the fiscal or Exchequer position, does IFAC have an input into that process? I ask that because, in truth, we cannot separate the carbon budgeting process from the fiscal process and the fiscal position overall.
