- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: ECOFIN Meeting: Minister for Finance (6 Jul 2017)
Pearse Doherty: We will come back to it in the budgetary committee because many of the ingredients that are locked into the fiscal space are locked in at this point in time. There should not be that much flexibility at any time during the year in terms of the fiscal space. It should be very much locked in at this point in time.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: ECOFIN Meeting: Minister for Finance (6 Jul 2017)
Pearse Doherty: It was a major blow to the process and serious questions need to be asked about the Commission's decision to allow it to happen. There is either a new model or there is not.
