My colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Mr Brendan Howlin T.D., and I met with the EU-IMF delegation during the recent quarterly review of the EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support for Ireland. These meetings were also attended by senior officials from both Departments.
A wide range of topics was covered at these meetings, including financial reforms, structural reforms, economic developments and the progress of the Programme.
In addition, the nature of the review mission is that it involves a large number of technical meetings which were also attended by officials from my department and when appropriate from other departments, the Central Bank and the NTMA.
I would also point out that contacts at official level between the Irish authorities and the EU, the ECB and the IMF concerning the support programme continue between review missions.
