I propose to take Questions Nos. 59 to 61, inclusive, together. Following the eighth review mission in October 2012 the EU/IMF delegation proposed to supply a document outlining certain options concerning Ireland’s exit from the Programme of Financial Support. My Department has received a technical document which will form the basis of the discussions during the current 9th review mission.
As the deputy will be aware the ninth review mission started on 29th January. Each review mission involves a large number of technical meetings which are attended by officials from my Department, the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform and when appropriate from other Departments, the Central Bank and the NTMA. A wide range of topics are covered at these meetings, including financial reforms, structural reforms, economic developments and the progress of the Programme itself. Technical discussions on Ireland’s exit strategy will form part of the discussions during the review mission and following the discussions a position will be developed thereafter. It is not the practice to publish confidential working papers related to the review mission.
