Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Professor Michael McMahon:

We have taken a mid point, which is again why we try to stress that we are not taking the most conservative view. The most conservative view would be to put the excess at €14 billion and that would reduce it. We are taking a mid point but it could be €14 billion or less than that.
