Written answers

Minister for Finance

I can confirm to the Deputy that I have not met with the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC) since assuming my role as Minister for Finance. In July of this year I met with the Chairman of the IFAC, Mr Seamus Coffey, in relation to the Review of Ireland’s Corporation Tax Code. This meeting did not relate to Mr Coffey’s work as Chair of the Fiscal Council.
