Assessments of Compliance with the Domestic Budgetary Rule

Part of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council’s mandate is to monitor and, at least once in each year, provide an assessment of compliance with the Domestic Budgetary Rule. The rule is described in the Fiscal Responsibility Act (2012).

Each annual publication outlines the Council’s assessment for the previous year.
