375. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Finance if his Department has conducted or commissioned any analysis of the fiscal impact of graduate emigration comparing the cost of education investment to the lost tax revenue from emigrants who do not return; and if so, to provide copies or summaries of such analysis. [60960/25]

The Department of Finance undertakes research and analysis across a wide range of policy areas, in order to consider and assess the potential impacts on Ireland’s economy and public finances. The recent publication of the Department's Future Forty report highlights and assesses a number of key economic and fiscal drivers which may affect Ireland's economy and public finances over the long term. These drivers include demographics, digitalisation, climate change, health, housing, EU enlargement and deglobalisation.

However, the Department has not conducted or commissioned any analysis on the fiscal impact of graduate emigration where the cost of education investment is compared to the potential lost tax revenue from emigrants who do not return.
