Joan Burton
Question:296. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance the way in which he is addressing the concern raised by his officials in a briefing note prepared by his Department on his re-appointment to the finance portfolio that Ireland is at risk of breaching EU rules which constrain the rate at which spending can increase in 2017; the impact of the recent revised Estimates for health and justice on this potential breach; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
