Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 February 2012
34 Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Finance the number of meetings he or his officials or the National Treasury Management Agency held with a company (details supplied) since March 2011; if he will provide the exact dates and venues of the meetings with the company; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9966/12]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware the company referred to in the Parliamentary Question is a very large multi-functional company. It is possible that this company could be meeting my Department or the NTMA on a whole range of issues. I have assumed for the purpose of replying to this question that the Deputy is referring to meetings with the company relating to IBRC. In this context there have been weekly meetings/conference calls with my Department since December 16, 2011. My own diary indicates that the Taoiseach and I met with the company referred to in the question on 8 November 2011. The matter of the IBRC retention agreement did not arise. The NTMA have informed me that no meeting in relation to, or concerning, the retention agreement with IBRC took place in the relevant period.
