Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Dr. Eddie Casey:

I do not know. It is on the tax side, but there is also a great deal on the welfare side, so the Department of Social Protection would be involved. Revenue would be involved because it has some of the best insights into what is available and would not necessarily give all of the information away if the work was to be confidential. There would be a role for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as well. It would take a cross-government approach.
