Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed)

Esmond Birnie's paper, and remember Mr. Birnie is an economist on the Fiscal Commission in Northern Ireland, suggests that things have got worse in terms of the subvention in the interlude. We stuck with the 2019 data. We updated the data from 2017 to 2019. Essentially, it is the same paper as we presented.
