I assume that the Deputy's question is in relation to the forthcoming Annual Meeting of the World Bank Group scheduled to take place from 12th to 14th October 2018 which, in my capacity as Ireland's Governor to the World Bank, I have been invited to attend.

Due to commitments in respect of Budget 2019 I shall not be in a position to attend this event and accordingly have no plans to meet World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. It may be of interest to the Deputy that Minister D'Arcy, who shall attend the World Bank Annual Meeting in my place, has no meetings scheduled with President Kim either.
