I propose to take Questions Nos. 98, 128, 132 and 133 together.

Since my appointment as Minister for Finance I have engaged with Mr Draghi's predecessor at the ECB at Eurogroup/Ecofin meetings. I spoke with Mr Draghi on the margins of the Eurogroup meeting on 7th November and it is my intention to meet with him specifically at a date suitable to both our schedules. While no agenda has been settled, I would expect that the topics will cover euro area matters generally, as appropriate, as well as Ireland's EU/IMF programme.
