EU Response to Europe’s Debt Crisis to be Considered at Oireachtas Committee with Economist Dan O’Brien
24th May 2010
The implications for EU States including Ireland of Europe’s response to the debt crisis within a number of member states will be considered at a meeting of the Oireachtas European Affairs Committee tomorrow, (25th) at 2pm in Committee Room 4 of Leinster House.
Dan O’Brien, Senior Europe editor and Economist with the Economist Intelligence will appear at the Committee.
The meeting comes amidst the decision by the EU to establish a stabilisation fund of €500 billion for the euro-area. A loan of €30 billion has already been arranged for Greece, with Ireland making a contribution of €1.3 billion to this amount.
Committee Chairman, Bernard Durkan TD said
“Europe is experiencing a debt crisis and currency problems on an unprecedented scale. In response to this situation, the EU has introduced a series of measures aimed at preserving financial stability and ensuring monetary sustainability in the future.
Inevitably, these measures will have consequences for Ireland and its economy. Dan O’Brien is a respected economist and financial journalist with the Economist Intelligence Unit (IEU). The IEU is a well regarded body in providing reports, data and predictions on global economic issues. Therefore his opinions on this hugely significant area will be extremely significant and informative.”
