Ireland’s early IMF loan repayment ’positive’ message - Hayes

Ireland's move to repay its IMF loans earlier than scheduled sends a very positive message regarding the country's economic recovery. So says the Dublin MEP Brian Hayes. He believes  our reputation in the EU has dramatically improved thanks to strong economic governance and the sacrifices Irish people have made in dealing with the economic crisis.  Mr Hayes says that repaying the loans early and getting funding from the international markets at a good rate will allow the government to give something back in the next few budgets.
