Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
2:00 am
Mr. Matthew McGann:
I would just add something which might be helpful in relation to the previous point about the grace period. There is a reference in the regulation to the grace period but it is only in recital 28 and is not in any of the articles. The reference is to a grace period on the principal for up to ten years. It is just the principal, so to the Deputy's point about the interest having to paid on the EU loans, the grace period relates to the principals.
