View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 162 to 165, inclusive, together.
The Ireland Strategic Investment Funds mandate is to invest on a commercial basis in a manner designed to support economic activity and employment in Ireland. As the Minister for Finance, I have no role in individual ISIF transactions or ISIF’s commercial decision making, more generally. Therefore, it is not possible for me to comment on the specific issue raised by the Deputy.
