I propose to take Questions Nos. 377 and 378 together.

The NTMA informs me that Exchequer cash and liquid asset balances stood at €24.8bn at year-end 2023. At end-June 2024, the equivalent figure was €27.6bn. The increase largely reflects the Exchequer surplus of over €3bn recorded in the first half of the year.

The maturity profile of Ireland’s benchmark Government bonds for the period 2025 to 2030 is shown in the table below. The 3.4% Treasury Bond 2024matured on 18 March this year. The balance at maturity was €8bn.

The Stability Programme Updateof April this year presented estimates of National Debt interest for each of the years 2024 to 2027. These are replicated in the table below. Updated estimates will be presented in Budget 2025later this year.
