The most recent Exchequer deficit estimates for the years 2013-2015 were presented in the April 2012 Stability Programme Update. They are also set out in the table below. The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) advises me that a list of outstanding Irish Government bonds can be accessed on its website. Outstanding Irish Government bonds due to mature over the period 2013-2015, as well as the dates on which those bonds are due to mature are set out in the table below. This data reflects the position as at 30th April 2012:
| €billion | Projected Exchequer Deficit | Irish Government Bond Maturities (maturity date) | IMF/EU and BilateralFacilities | Total Funding Requirement |
| 2013 | 14.5 | 6.0 (18/04/2013) | — | 20.5 |
| 2014 | 10.4 | 8.2 (15/01/2014) | — | 18.6 |
| 2015 | 6.8 | 3.6 (18/02/2015) and (18/08/2015) | 6.9 | 17.3 |
As of end-April 2012, some €48 billion of the €67½ billion in external funding available under the EU/IMF Programme had been drawn down, leaving a further €19½ billion to be drawn down over the remainder of this year and next. At end-April 2012, the Exchequer also maintained healthy Exchequer cash balances of €13.1 billion.
These cash balances as well as the remaining EU/IMF Programme funding are also available to finance the Exchequer over the remainder of 2012.
