EU-IMF exit strategy publication
The Deputy asks whether information on the EU-IMF exit strategy will be published before the next day’s debate. The Taoiseach says relevant conditions are already public and expects the Finance Minister to provide further information.
Will it be published before the debate takes place tomorrow? It is welcome that it will be published.
Comment on this
Ireland did not apply for a credit line. The exit strategy conditions for any country are published on the websites of the ESM and the IMF. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, indicated that he wished to publish some information and he is quite free to do so. I cannot speak for him now, but I expect that he will make the information available. The Minister for Finance will answer parliamentary questions in the morning before the debate takes place and I am sure the Deputy will have the opportunity to put any question he wishes to him.
