111. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Finance the updated figures for the projected fiscal space for each of the years from 2016 to 2018. [6669/16]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, estimates of fiscal space for the period 2016 - 2018 were published by my Department in the documentation accompanying the 2016 Budget last October. Updated figures are being prepared by my Department as part of the preparations for SPU 2016. These will take account of any updated assumptions including general government expenditure levels for 2015 due to be published by the CSO as part of the government finance statistics later this month. The decision on when to publish any revisions to these tables is one for the Government.
