The European Commission has given the green light for a €5.8bn payment to be made to Ireland as part of the bailout deal.
It follows the Troika's latest successful review - the fifth - of Ireland's performance under the terms of the deal.
However the Commissiont warned that the domestic economy here remains weak, and said much work remains to be done.
It said a fall in demand for Irish exports could weigh on the country's budget performance, and it urged the Government to remain steadfast in implementing the full programme.
