Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have indicated a timeline to the European Commission for the potential resolution of the matter. One of the reasons I cannot publicly indicate the likely point at which it will be concluded is we are having discussions and negotiations with a company in this regard and those have to conclude in a manner satisfactory for both parties. I aim to conclude the process as soon as possible, collect the money and, while the money is collected and deposited in an escrow account, continue with the action that Ireland needs to take to defend its name in respect of this issue.
