‘Fiscal space’ – the final frontier

Sir, – I find the latest buzz term coming from government circles intriguing. “Fiscal space” has the air of a far-off galaxy in a parallel universe.

Meanwhile, down here on Planet Voter, I speculate it could mean the chasm between recent promises made in political manifestos and the inevitability of some future disappointments. Watch this space. – Yours, etc,

CLARE BALFE,
