Question 157: To ask the Minister for Finance if any decision has been taken with regard to the re-issuing of Irish pounds by the Central Bank of Ireland; if so, are Irish pounds currently being printed at the National Mint or elsewhere on the instruction of the Central Bank of Ireland; if so, the total value of this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Ireland is a Member State of the Euro-zone the question of re-issuing Irish pounds does not arise. Irish pounds are not being printed by the Central Bank nor are they being printed elsewhere on the instruction of the Central Bank. The Central Bank continues to produce euro currency.
