Written answers

Minister for Finance

As the Deputy is aware, the most recent Fiscal Assessment Report from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council was published last week. This report is currently being analysed by my Department and I intend to respond to the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council directly, in due course. As per commitments I have made before, there will be a comprehensive response to any Fiscal Assessment Report published by the Fiscal Council in either the Budget or the Stability Programme Update.
