Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I am answering Deputy McDonald's question. She stated that the troika looked for €2 billion and we settled for €3 billion. The troika looked for €5 billion because Fianna Fáil had agreed €5 billion. We have succeeded in two respects. There will be a target of €3 billion and €1 billion of that will be used for reinvestment in the economy to create jobs and get people back to work. Those are the facts.
