The Government has worked closely with the Irish banks to ensure that the banking sector supports economic recovery. As part of this process the Economic Management Council met with the banks on 9 November 2011, 21 February 2012 and 26 June 2012. As a Cabinet Committee, confidentiality of discussions at the Economic Management Council are protected by the Constitution and, in line with long-standing practice, it is not appropriate to answer questions about proceedings.
