Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

2:00 pm

Mr. Ronan Hession:

Finally, could Mr. Hession give us an outline of where this goes from here? As he said, it has been in the ether for the past 15 years or so, but there seems to be renewed momentum behind it now. It was published last October. Where does he expect it will go from here? What is the timeline for the Irish Government and the Department of Finance to adopt a position from an Irish perspective on these proposals?
