Jim O'Callaghan: I welcome the Governor and the two deputy governors. I have a number of questions for Mr. Makhlouf. I will start by looking at the Central Bank's function, which is in respect of providing analysis on national economic policy. Does Mr. Makhlouf agree that the Irish economy is in good health at present?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: Would Mr. Makhlouf say that the factors that made him conclude it is in good health are full employment, a large surplus, which a lot of countries do not have, and lowering inflation? Is there anything else he would add to that as a symptom of the healthy Irish economy?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: We are getting considerable receipts in from the multinational sector but what can be done to try to reduce that? We are not in a position where we want to try to reduce receipts coming in, but what does the Governor advise a government that it should do in respect of trying to lessen dependency on that? It is difficult to do that if one is very successful in a particular area, as we are.
