I propose to take Questions Nos. 326, 327, 328, 329, 330 and 380 together.

My Department has not produced updated fiscal projections as part of the Summer Economic Statement (SES) and accordingly the most recent projections remain those published as part of the Stability Programme Update (SPU), which extend to 2027.

The SES noted an implied General Government Balance for 2025. This is a purely indicative, high-level, technical assumption. This is broadly consistent with the surplus set out in the SPU after accounting for the additional expenditure announced in the SES, suggesting a General Government surplus of just under €6 billion for next year. It should be emphasised that this does not constitute a revised comprehensive fiscal forecast.

My Department will produce a full set of fiscal projections as part of Budget 2025 in the autumn. It is intended that these updated projections will extend to 2030. In addition, Government will produce its medium-term fiscal plan, as required under the EU fiscal framework.
