Written answers

Minister for Finance

In April, the Central Bank of Ireland advised my Department that the total expected surplus available to be remitted to the Exchequer in 2015 is €725m.  This surplus arises from the normal activities of the Central Bank and the estimate may be revised in the run up to the forthcoming Budget in light of more up to date information and data.
