Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 March 2011
33 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Finance when the McCarthy Review Group on State Assets will publish their report; if he has received a copy of this report; when it is envisioned that he will target the €2 billion in sales of State assets; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Review Group on State Assets and Liabilities is currently finalising its report and I expect that it will be brought to Government shortly. Publication of the report will be a matter for Government decision. On foot of Government's consideration of the group's recommendations, a programme of asset disposals will be drawn-up to meet the target that was agreed in the programme for Government. This will take account, inter alia, of the review group’s recommendations as to the appropriate candidates for disposal and the timing of such disposals.
