Troika is leaving ‘unfinished business’

The troika is leaving Ireland with business unfinished, including changes to the medical and legal service, but they will be pursued through the new EU governance to which all eurozone countries are now subject.

EU sources were full of praise for the way the Government and the public implemented most of the changes, returning the country to growth, and ensuring the banks were now safe and sound.

The country is extremely well positioned to benefit from an upturn in the global economy, more resilient and able to deal with shocks than the country could have expected to be at this stage when the programme began.
