606. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance if he intends to implement, as part of this year’s budgetary process, the recommendations outlined in a recent Parliamentary Budget Office report (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43897/26]

I am aware of the report to which the Deputy has referred; it is a useful report, and there may be merit in some of the recommendations outlined, which my department will continue to assess.
