Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
Dr. Eddie Casey:
Mr. Barnes is right. This is such a complex challenge that many people will need to pitch in and it needs to start soon. He did not mention the likes of the Parliamentary Budgetary Office, PBO. Part of its mandate is dedicated to matters such as this. More broadly, the Departments of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform may have a bigger role to play as well.
