‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - External Borrowings. Government Borrowing Rates and Lending Charges
Summary
Wilson asked whether the Government borrowed from Germany more cheaply than it charged farmers and others; the Ceann Comhairle ruled this a separate question. Kelly remarked that it would be welcome for the State to make money.
Is it true that the Department of Finance make a profit on the rates? Are the Department of Finance getting the money at a lower rate from the Federal Republic of Germany than it is charging to farmers and others?
