171 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Finance the submissions, if any, he has received on the rate at which the Irish pound should lock into the EMU; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5651/98]
I have received delegations, submissions and letters from a range of organisations, companies and individuals expressing views about the exchange rate at which the Irish pound should enter EMU. However, given the market sensitivity of this issue it would not be appropriate for me to comment on their content.
