No documents submitted on promissory note deal: ECB

The Government has never submitted any documentation to the ECB on the renegotiation of the promissory notes, according to a member of the bank.

The director general of the Secretariat and Languages Services in the ECB, Pierre van der Haegen, said: “Having duly looked into this matter, we would like to inform you that the ECB did not receive any documents from the Irish Government on the renegotiation of the terms of the promissory notes.”

The Irish Examiner requested copies of any requests by the Government and any negotiating documents submitted to the ECB under the right of access to documents enshrined in EU treaties.
