Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Matters Relating to the Economy: Discussion with Governor of Central Bank
3:10 pm
Professor Patrick Honohan:
I know but we are not as special as Greece. Some people are more special than others.
The Deputy raises an interesting question but he should bear in mind that this sort of discussion would be appropriate in a situation where a country is in the situation Greece is in, where it is having debt exchanged in the private market with heavy haircuts and a Government that is scrambling to put a package together.
