Seamus Coffey is an Irish economist and media contributor with a focus on the performance of the Irish economy and Irish macroeconomic and fiscal policy.[4] He is a lecturer at University College Cork. He was chair of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC) from 2016 to 2020.[1]
Coffey is an increasingly high-profile player in Irish life. Last week, he told the Oireachtas Budget Oversight Committee that Donohoe's long-term spending plans "lack credibility" and "look unrealistic".
