Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Statement of Strategy 2011-2014: Discussion with Department of Finance

2:25 pm

Mr. John A. Moran:

The position of the Department is and remains that the debt is sustainable. We have been working with our colleagues in Europe about how we may engage in exercises that would improve its sustainability, but there is not a question of the debt, as it stands currently, not being sustainable.
