Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

12:45 pm

Ms Niamh Campbell:

My colleague has told me it is from EUROSTAT. As regards the Deutsche Bank analysis, we would be interested in that. The analysis of the net position is not complex. We in the Department of Finance make the payments to the EU budget twice a month. We have all those numbers and then the receipts are measured in conjunction with the Commission. It is quite easy to do that analysis. We are definitely a net beneficiary, of that there is no doubt. We would be very interesting in seeing those figures.
