Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

I have not sought any commitment from the ECB about the secondary market. Because we are not in the primary market at this stage it would be premature to have any such discussions. The NTMA is of the same view it has held for the past number of months that it will be possible to get back into the market around the date I indicated and it has not changed its position in this regard.
