It is not my intention to provide an audit of Irish Government bonds with the Spring Statement.
The Deputy should note that the website of the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) contains a large volume of detailed information on Irish Government bonds which can be accessed through the NTMA website (www.ntma.ie ) or through the following link:
http://www.ntma.ie/business-areas/funding-and-debt-management/government-bonds/.
Such material includes offering circulars, "bonds outstanding" reports, as well as details of maturity dates, coupon dates and coupons.
The NTMA has advised that as of close of business 24 March 2015, the total nominal value of bonds outstanding was €123.1 billion. This comprises €97.4 billion in fixed rate Treasury Bonds, €24.5 billion in Floating Rate Treasury Bonds and €1.2 billion in Amortising Bonds.
