EU Budget Contribution

Does the Minister for Finance believe Ireland will have to significantly increase its contributions to the EU multiannual funding budget, which is due in 2021? It has been suggested that Ireland will have to pay, on average, up to €760 million more into the EU budget per year. It has also been suggested that our net contributions will go up to as much as 0.91% of our GNI. This is complicated by Brexit. The cost of this increase could be close to the cost of a difficult Brexit deal.
