As described previously in answer to Parliamentary Questions No. 152 of 17th May 2011, No. 58 of 2nd June 2011, and No. 30 of 5th July 2011, the Government's decision to repay senior bank bond holders was made in consultation with the ECB and other 'Troika' members. Ireland is not a member of the G7 and there were no direct discussions with Mr. Geithner on this matter.
