"Mr President, I come from Ireland, the first country to have a visit from the Troika, and I must say that when I heard that the Troika was coming I was actually happy because I said: number one, we will get the emergency finance that we need – because we were bankrupt at the time – and number two, they will point out to us necessary reforms which many governments were afraid to implement.
Thankfully, when we had a change of government, some of the measures which the Troika introduced were renegotiated, like the rate and the promissory note and so forth, and that was important. Now we are in a situation where we have gone from losing 250[nbsp ]000 jobs over a period of three years to creating 60[nbsp ]000 a year, so there is light at the end of the tunnel and things are seeming to work.
The Troika were fire-fighting; now that the fire-fighting is over we can go on to building architecture. One area we need to look at, though, is legacy debt. We were made a promise on that in the June[nbsp ]2012 summit. If that is delivered, we will be quite happy and things will progress better for us."@en1
