Professor Alan Barrett: It is not the job of the ESRI to say what the distribution of income or wealth should be in Ireland but it is its job to measure these things and provide the evidence about issues around distribution. The ESRI does this probably more than any other group in the country. I have spoken before in this committee about the SWITCH model, which does all the distribution...

Mr. John Conlon: The national development plan has been funded out to 2030 and allocations are being made.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Affordable Housing Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Feb 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

Mary Seery Kearney: I refer to the point made by Deputy Higgins. I suggest that the opening statement from the ESRI needs to be updated because it confined itself to two factors rather than the wider context, all of which needs to be acknowledged. There may be a very short-term inflationary element, but that can be augmented by all of the other wider context interplay. It is necessary, given today's media...

Seanad: Economic Situation: Statements (27 Jan 2009)

Martin Mansergh: ...I had the privilege of sitting in the House throughout the entire debate and many interesting ideas and suggestions were put forward. A point was just made about the alleged difference between the ESRI and the Department of Finance. This possibly arises from rounding up and rounding down figures. The ESRI is forecasting gross national product will contract by 4.6% this year and the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Low Pay Commission Recommendations on the National Minimum Wage: Discussion (18 Oct 2023)

Mr. Ois?n Gilmore: We have quite a detailed analysis of that in a report submitted by the ESRI. It is not published yet but should be published by the end of this year. We have some information on the age breakdown of people on the minimum wage in the report. I do not actually have data on whether they are specifically on subminimum rates but that is contained in the ESRI report which was...

Leo Varadkar: I have established a three-year Research Programme in Healthcare Reform with the ESRI.

Tommy Broughan: ...transfers and other supports to try to help families? Obviously households, especially those where no one is working, will be in the most vulnerable situation. That is the first point. Are the ESRI representatives being too sanguine about all of this? As we seem to get closer to Brexit - we could still be talking about Friday - the forecasts seem to be getting scarier. Does the ESRI...

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank Dr. Keane and Dr. Doorley for the presentation. I was listening attentively to the previous discussion. I would be interested in getting an understanding of the ESRI's view on whether this would be right across all social welfare payments that would be indexed. Would this move on into other benefits, such as social housing qualifying criteria and so on? Where would the ESRI see a...

Irish Economy: Motion (Resumed) (14 May 2008) See 2 other results from this debate

Michael Kennedy: ...Finance. I have no doubt he will continue the great work carried out by his predecessor, the Taoiseach, Deputy Brian Cowen. It gives me pleasure to speak on this subject, especially on the day the ESRI issued a report indicating the Irish economy will grow by over 3.5% in the coming years. It must be frustrating for Deputy Burton to have moved this motion given the expectations the ESRI...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jun 2012) See 1 other result from this debate

David Cullinane: The ESRI is a Government-funded body, yet we are told that the report was subject neither to internal nor external peer review, the accepted norm for all such reports, and that although it was available on the ESRI website for three weeks, it did not adhere to the process of refereeing, to which this type of academic research was usually subjected. The question arises as to whether the...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Budget 2018 (24 Oct 2017)

Paschal Donohoe: I propose to take Questions Nos. 84 and 85 together. I take it that the Deputy is referring to an article by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) assessing the distributional impact of Budget 2018 which was published in the Irish Times on Thursday, 12th October 2017. This analysis of the Budget is undertaken and published every year by the ESRI. The article this year was...

Even then there was more waste than...
