Sir, – In light of the debate on whether the Government should stick with its adjustment target of €2 billion in the forthcoming budget, it is worth remembering the previous government was accused of either ignoring or not knowing the warning signs within the Irish economy prior to the crash.
Given that the EU, IMF and the Government’s own fiscal advisory council have stressed the necessity of the Government sticking to its target, it’s fair to say we have been warned (again). – Yours, etc,
PAUL LYNAM,
St Raphaela’s
