Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Pre-Budget Engagement (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Tom McDonnell:

Potentially. A lot of other institutions do that already and the Department of Finance ought to be doing that every year. We would strongly encourage that not only should a medium-term framework be produced out to 2050s by the end of this year, but that the process is replicated every year in order for it to inform this committee.
