Coalition outsources economic policy

In response to a parliamentary question from Sinn Féin’s finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty, Finance Minister Michael Noonan said: “Following competitive tendering processes, we engaged the services of two consultancy firms. The ESRI was engaged to advise and assist in the economic modelling of various policy scenarios.

“PMCA Economic Consultants were engaged to provide assistance and analysis in the preparation of the medium-term economic strategy, including an analysis of recent medium-term economic strategies in countries comparable to Ireland, and to provide related advice on the effective development and implementation of the strategy,” he said.
