Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Analysis: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (8 Dec 2020)

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Barnes said that "the permanent increases could even be as high as €8.5 billion as it is not possible to ascertain the nature of some of the increases in non-Exchequer areas.

Where does he see the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (2 Dec 2020)
