Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

12:05 pm

Mr. Kyle O'Sullivan:

I think there was one meeting in November but there was not a deal. I do not think we would be coming back unless it was his judgment that a deal would be reached. As he has not made new proposals, there is no new paper on the table. We would expect that he would make those proposals on Thursday afternoon, as soon as he convenes the Council. Certainly our preparations and those of most member states would be towards a deal.
