Ossian Smyth: ...back the same quantity of output - in other words, the same number of houses and hospital are built - but prices, wages or costs are pushed up and, therefore, add to inflation. That is why the ESRI report is being done. It is why the review is being carried out. The ESRI has identified capacity constraints, given the place we are in the economic cycle.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Brexit Supports (7 Mar 2019)

Michael Moynihan: The ESRI and the Department of Finance are compiling a report which is going to be issued later in the month of March. Today is 7 March. We are within three weeks of Brexit.

That frightens us because we have known...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Public Sector Staff Issues (9 Oct 2013)

John Halligan: ...us to think otherwise. The persistent slashing of public sector members will not solve the State's economic problems.

Seanad: National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements. (5 Nov 2003) See 41 other results from this debate

Senator Mansergh stated that there is a touch of Dublin 4 about the ESRI, which I accept shows itself in some of the prejudices with which we are familiar, such as the anti-rail bias, the support for water charges and the commercialisation of the waste water infrastructure and so on. From an economic point of view, I understand why the ESRI makes such recommendations. However, from a...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Okay. Dr. McQuinn says the ESRI does not expect the level of inflation predicted last year. Inflation dropped in January and went back up in February. Where does the ESRI see inflation at? If it moderates, it does not mean prices are coming down. Prices are locked in at the levels they are at and are still increasing. The ESRI made the point in previous commentary on the role one-off...

Seanad: Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (16 Dec 2014)

Thomas Byrne: Will the Minister respond to the ESRI report? Thankfully, the ESRI has published a report on income distribution and the effects of the budget. The Government used to have such a report in the budgetary documents. It used to tell us who gained and who lost, but it stopped doing so this year because we would have gone to that page and immediately seen that every budget the Government has...

As Minister for Finance, the Taoiseach increased spending to a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: In fact, the ESRI did an analysis of the budget and it has proven it is very progressive and that, proportionately, those on the higher deciles are paying much more money. I suggest that the Senators consult the ESRI report, which will clarify that issue for them.
