Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Question 1: To ask the Minister for Finance the likely cost of funds that would apply, in the event that the Fiscal Stability Treaty referendum is passed on 31 May, if Ireland should need to avail of funding from the European Stability Mechanism beyond the period of the current EU-IMF programme of assistance; the way this compares to current market rates for Irish Government bonds; if he will confirm the other sources of funding that would be available for the country in the event that the referendum is rejected and access to the ESM is blocked; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
