Troika And Government Meet To Discuss Bailout Programme Exit

Discussions have been taking place between the government and the Troika over what assistance would be available to Ireland as it exits the EU-IMF loan programme.

Michael Noonan, the minister for finance, made the comment as the Troika concluded its latest mission to Ireland.

Ireland has successfully met the targets under the latest EU-IMF review mission and discussions are now beginning to look at leaving the loan programme, which is due to happen at the end of 2013.

Mr Noonan said a paper would be published before Christmas outlining options for exiting.
