Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (26 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: ...he takes time to note that rents in Los Angeles are cheaper on average than rents in Dublin. Average rents in Dublin today are €1,713 a month, which is an increase on this time last year. The ESRI stated this morning it has reduced its projected figures for the number of house completions this year. The notion that the Government is catching up with supply is once again being...

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Feb 2015) See 1 other result from this debate

Susan O'Keeffe: The medium-term review published by the ESRI in 2008 stated, among other things, "the fundamentals of the Irish economy are sound". From Professor John FitzGerald's evidence to this inquiry we know the ESRI had done no research on the financial sector for a number of years. Can an economist ever say the fundamentals of an economy are sound without examining the financial sector?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Minimising Unemployment: Discussion with Department of Social Protection (17 Oct 2012) See 1 other result from this debate

Joanna Tuffy: Deputy Conaghan spoke about the value of the community employment scheme from a much broader perspective than that looked at in the ESRI study, which covered a narrow period of years. The ESRI does not seem to have considered the scheme in the context of its original intention. It seems to have a very narrow focus. Does Mr. Egan have any comments on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (8 Nov 2012) See 2 other results from this debate

Kevin Humphreys: It was provided to the committee as well. I would like to know how the workings of the Clearing House Group contributed to the Minister's consideration of his policy position. The ESRI report weighed heavily on the 1984 Swedish movement to bring in a financial transactions tax. Does the Minister accept that the research done by the ESRI and PricewaterhouseCoopers was very flawed? The...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Yield (26 Apr 2022)

Paschal Donohoe: My Department has, in recent years, worked with the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), through a Joint Research Programme (JRP) to advance Ireland’s macroeconomic and fiscal analysis of climate change using the ESRI’s I3E model. Through the JRP, significant analysis has been undertaken regarding the economic and environmental impacts of the carbon tax, in...

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (24 Jun 2015)

Mr. John McCarthy: Yes. After 2001, the Department approached the Central Bank and the ESRI to second somebody to the Department to undertake technical work on their behalf. I moved from the Central Bank to the Department at the time and a senior economist from the ESRI moved. We undertook some of the technical work. So, in other words, the economic capacity or the modelling capacity was...

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 May 2005) See 4 other results from this debate

Brendan Ryan: On the Order of Business, the ESRI report on pensions is worthy of debate in this House. There has been a massive rush towards tax incentives for private pensions and while one has no problem with that in principle, it ought to be a form of incentive which is not simply making well-off people even better off. This is essentially what the ESRI is saying.

Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: National Development Plan (21 Nov 2023)

Paschal Donohoe: As set out in my reply of 14 November 2023, an independent evaluation of investment priorities and capacity of the National Development Plan (NDP) is currently being conducted by the ESRI. The evaluation is focusing on the capacity to deliver current Government priorities, to utilise sectoral capital allocations and to estimate the impact of the NDP on key economic indicators. Given...

Written Answers — Department of Health: HSE Funding (3 Feb 2015)

Leo Varadkar: I have established a three-year Research Programme in Healthcare Reform with the ESRI. The research programme uses economic analysis to explore issues in relation to health services and health spending as well as population health. The immediate priority of the ESRI research programme is to examine the cost implications of a change to a multi-payer, universal health insurance model, as...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (28 Nov 2023)

Ossian Smyth: Earlier this evening I spoke about the ESRI review. Part of the renaming of the Department to include NDP delivery involves asking an external agency to look at the exact question the Deputy asked, namely, what the barriers are to NDP delivery. We have asked the ESRI to assess what constraints we are reaching, what capacity constraints we have, what changes we might need to make and how to...

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (2 Jul 2015)

Sean Barrett: Yes, but I know that is your view. I'm just wondering about the corporate view, because we have had evidence that the ESRI, a man called Nervous Nelly by John FitzGerald, used to ring up if he didn't like what was in the reviews. We saw huge chunks of an OECD report being cut out, including the word "boom", which you have actually in your presentation. It's one of your bullet points,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Strategy Statement 2011-2014 and IFSC Clearing House Group: Discussion with Department of the Taoiseach (22 May 2013) See 1 other result from this debate

Kevin Humphreys: We have not had access to those 13 meetings and the cases made against the financial transaction tax. We have only seen the ESRI report. Mr. Fraser is asking me to accept in good faith what happened at those 13 meetings and that a very strong argument was made against it. The ESRI report does not make that strong a case. Is Mr. Fraser confirming those 13 meetings took place?

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland - Public Policy, Economic Opportunities and Challenges: Discussion (7 Oct 2022)

Dr. Alan Barrett: I thank the Chair and members of the committee for the invitation to address them today. I am the director of the ESRI and I am joined by my colleagues, Dr. Adele Bergin, Dr. Sheelah Connolly, Dr. Martina Lawless and Dr. Seamus McGuinness. Each of them will speak in a few moments on various stands of ESRI research which are relevant to the committee's deliberations. I...

Unemployment Levels (25 Sep 2008) See 1 other result from this debate

Joan Burton: ...but things have got worse since July. We have figures regarding unemployment that relate to the end of August and early September and these show 6.1%. Does the Minister share the analysis of the ESRI that the unemployment rate is likely to hit 7%, a total of 300,000 people, by Christmas? Does he agree that in the first three months of the new year it is likely to go up by a further 1%...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Barry Cowen: A vote has been called so we must call a halt. I thank the ESRI for making itself available and for bringing a fine team who have been available to deal with every eventuality or possibility. It shows the interest and respect the ESRI has for the committee and we appreciate it. We thank the witnesses for their commitment and report and their efforts at responding to our queries.

Written Answers — Price Inflation: Price Inflation (9 May 2006) See 1 other result from this answer

Brian Cowen: I welcome the latest ESRI Quarterly Economic Commentary, which was published in April 2006. The ESRI is forecasting economic growth this year of 4.8 per cent in GDP terms, and 5.1 per cent in GNP terms. Employment is forecast to increase by 3.4 per cent and unemployment is expected to average 4.4 per cent. These forecasts are broadly in line with my own Department's forecasts for 2006, which...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Finance Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2015)

Michael Noonan: I can help the Deputy on that point. The Department of Finance has agreed a multi-year joint research programme with the ESRI on taxation policy and the macro-economy. Under this research partnership, economists in my Department will work alongside ESRI researchers on various new tax-related research topics aimed at gaining a better understanding of the links between various taxes,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Developments at Hinkley Point C Power Plant: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Eamon Ryan: I would like to put a final question to Mr. McDonald before I put one or two questions to the officials from the EPA. As I understand it, the ESRI study he mentioned estimates that costs of €4 billion, or indeed more, could arise as a consequence of an accident - please God it will not ever happen - at Hinkley Point. Does the Department agree with the assessment in the ESRI study?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Sep 2022)

Fintan Warfield: That is very helpful. The ESRI was before the committee last week and spoke about potential job losses, for which I do not see the evidence. The ESRI spoke about a potential reduction of hours, and there is some evidence for that. Is it possible for us to look at legislation to allow companies to prove that there would be job losses, and to exempt those businesses if they could prove this?

Written Answers — National Minimum Wage: National Minimum Wage (20 Apr 2005)

Tony Killeen: ...Labour Court recommended that the minimum wage should be increased to €7.65 with effect from 1 May 2005. Subsequent to receiving this recommendation, the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, was requested to undertake an assessment of the increase recommended by the Labour Court. In its assessment, the ESRI concludes that the increase in the minimum wage to €7.65 can be...
