In my capacity as Governor for Ireland at the IMF and the World Bank, my Department manages Ireland's relationship with these institutions. In accordance with Section 10 of the Bretton Woods Agreements (Amendment) Act 1999, my Department prepares an Annual Report entitled "Ireland's Participation in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank", which I present to Dáil Éireann by end-March each year. This report provides up-to-date and comprehensive information on Ireland's relationship and activities with regard to the IMF and the World Bank throughout the preceding year.

The Report is prepared in conjunction with other Departments and Agencies including the Central Bank of Ireland, Irish Aid and the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government. I would refer the Deputy to the most recent version of this report which is available at .
