Question 145: To ask the Minister for Finance his views on the introduction of a €30 note; if he will make a case to the European Central Bank for the creation of a new €30 note; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12868/09]

The denomination sequence of the euro currency was proposed by an EU Working Group as part of the preparations for the introduction of the new currency. The agreed sequence is 1:2:5 and this corresponds to the sequence we used in the Irish Pound currency. There are no plans to introduce a €30 bank note and it is not my intention to make a case to the ECB calling for the introduction of such a denomination.
