Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Role and Functions: Debt and Development Coalition Ireland

1:00 pm

Ms Nessa Ní Chasaide:

We also wanted to flag for the committee the fact that the Department of Finance produces annual reports on its participation with the World Bank and the IMF. It would be a worthwhile exercise for this committee to discuss these questions with the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade because they pertain to policy coherence in terms of good consultation and joint decision making between their respective Departments. That may be a constructive action for the committee to take.
