This question relates to Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and its role. I would like to hear the Minister's view of the recent independent assessment of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and to state whether he intends to introduce changes or reforms to the council's work. I wish to raise also the issue of the recent fiscal assessment report from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council which deals with the spring economic statement. It made some sharp criticisms of the Government's approach to budgetary issues which I would like to thrash out with him.
