Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----the independent fiscal council will have all the information available to it. There is no proposal to have a formal engagement with the fiscal council about the spring economic statement. As I said, that is not a budget or a vehicle for indicating what issues the Government will announce. It concerns the general economic landscape as the Government sees it right out to 2020. That will be discussed and published here, with the information pertaining to that made available to people so they can have the opportunity to have their say.
