Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Analysis of Economic Forecasts: Central Bank of Ireland (6 Sep 2016)

Lisa Chambers: When can we expect the new indicators that will be developed and when will the committee have access to that information? What buffers are in place and what buffers do we need to put in place in respect of Brexit? Is a plan in place? What will happen in the short to medium term over the next couple of years?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Analysis of Economic Forecasts: Central Bank of Ireland (6 Sep 2016)

Lisa Chambers: Is our taxation system a risk to the economy? Prior to the crash many accusations were made that the tax base was not broad enough, and moves were made to address this. It is within the remit of the Central Bank to examine the risks posed by our taxation system, such as whether it is broad enough. I assume it is a discussion the witnesses have probably had with colleagues.
