Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (24 Jan 2023)

Mick Barry: The Minister is talking down the clock and I wish to speak. The Minister may well have put a new phrase into the Irish political lexicon this afternoon, which is the "inadvertent" corporate donation.

The asset management fund will put in cash, and will own all of the land and draw down...
