Devaluation costs for semi-State borrowing
Asked for the cost to semi-State companies of capital and interest repayments arising from the devaluation, Dukes said the information was not yet available and invited O’Kennedy to repeat the question in two weeks. O’Kennedy accepted, and Kelly objected that Deputies were waiting.
asked the Minister for Finance the total cost to the Exchequer, or companies concerned, of capital and interest repayments of foreign borrowing by semi-State companies arising from the Government's decision in March 1983 to devalue our currency within the EMS.

It has not been possible in the time available to assemble the information requested by the Deputy. If the Deputy will repeat his question in two weeks I hope to be in a position to supply the information.

I would gladly accept the invitation. When I get the answer I hope it will be comprehensive.

The Deputy may hope as he wants. I may be unfair by giving the reply in the form of a table.
