Ireland is not a member of the G7, and does not participate in its discussions. I therefore have no record of the matter raised in the question. I do understand that there have, from time to time, been discussions about Ireland among various parties. However, Ireland's engagement in relation to our EU/IMF programme of support has been principally with the IMF and the EU institutions, along with the member states concerned.
