Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein)

Given that growth figures are probably the most important determinant of the success of the Government programme, and in my view and that of many others it is the one that actually receives the least amount of attention and investment, and given that growth projections have been revised down three times, most recently by the Irish Central Bank, is it not the case that the Government is at this stage in danger of not meeting its obligations with regard to the troika? What contingency plans has the Government put in place in case this happens? Might there be a situation where a mini-budget is necessary if those obligations are not achieved?
