World Bank payment questions
Deputy Cian O'Callaghan questioned Paschal Donohoe’s €10 million extra payment to the World Bank and called for the Finance Minister and Tánaiste to answer in the House.
The decision by Paschal Donohoe last April to give €10 million in additional funding over and beyond what was initially recommended by his officials to the World Bank raises a number of questions about what his intentions were at the time and whether he was aware that he would be taking up a senior role in the World Bank later in the year. The Minister for Finance, Tánaiste and leader of Fine Gael, Simon Harris, should come into the Dáil and answer questions on this.
