This presentation will examine the pre- and post-crisis development of fiscal governance in Ireland. Among the questions addressed: To what extent were the causes of the economic crisis fiscal in nature? Were the austerity policies necessary to resolve the crisis? What have been the particular challenges of fiscal governance in Ireland? How well is the new fiscal framework equipped to support sustainable growth in the years ahead?
