Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

5:30 pm

Dr. Eddie Casey:

It depends. I do not think they have one overarching multiplier that they use. I have not seen one. We have our own estimates. We know there is lots available from Irish literature in particular, but I have not seen one that the Department endorses as being its official favoured estimate. These things are generally very uncertain and there is a massive range of them.
