Troika expected to give Ireland the all clear
Ireland is expected to get another 'all targets met' report card from the Troika today.
Officials from the European Commission, IMF and ECB are concluding their latest assessment of the €85bn bailout deal.
For the past ten days officials from the Troika have been going through the books and looking at everything that was planned to be done in the last three months of 2011.
At a press conference this afternoon they are expected to give Ireland the thumbs up and say all obligations under the programme continue to be met.
But the plain sailing with the group could soon come to an end.
Tough talks lie ahead in the next review in three month's time on issues like the sale of State assets.
Also personal insolvency legislation must be introduced, while the Department of Social Protection has to outline reforms to make work pay and target supports at those on the lowest of incomes.
