The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council was established on a statutory basis on the 31 December 2012 under the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2012.

The Deputy should be aware that the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council is an independent body. The Fiscal Responsibility Act states that the Fiscal Council may regulate its own procedures (including quorum) and therefore this question is a matter for the Council directly.

A list of all the Council meetings can be found on the Fiscal Council’s website, which indicates that the last meeting was October 25th.
