THE NATIONAL TREASURY Management Agency (NTMA) has completed an auction of Irish Treasury Bills, selling the target amount of €500 million.
Total bids received amounted to €1.46 billion which was 2.9 times the amount on offer.
The Treasury Bills, which have a maturity of three months, were sold at an annualised yield of 0.20 per cent – higher than the 0.12 per cent they got for the bonds sold in May and similar to the 0.19 per cent rate they received for T-bills in April.

@Brendan O’Brien: It’s quite easy, it’s called clutching at the straws of diversity, every Ad on TV and poster campaigns on the streets portrays Ireland as a mixed race family paradise. It’s the push against white families that bothers me. The demographics on the street don’t mirror what’s on our TVs, pushing the THEIR narrative down our throats.
@Freda Peeple: ‘push against white families’ is sheer fantasy. I prefer to see a recognition that not everyone in the country is white.
@Brendan O’Brien: Of course you do Brendan, you will lap up whatever you are served.
@Freda Peeple: as seen on our children school books recently…”white family bad” “mixed family AWESOME” I will add I have no problem with mixed race family, but according to our advertisers they are the norm. They aren’t
@Freda Peeple: No point talking to him, he eats cornflakes with a fork.
@William Slevin: Could not have said it better myself.
@William Slevin: ‘There are too many Black people on my television’ is just racism no matter how you slice it.
The Bear is next level telly.
@Mel Fitzpatrick: I thought S3 was a bit of a comedown after the high of S2. Still very good though.
@Mel Fitzpatrick: Season 3 was awful
@William Slevin: fully agree. I reckon the next season could be the last.
Racists even in this comment section …
@Jack Hayes: “I hear your a racist now Father Jack”
People of colour have lived in Ireland for years. White is also a colour!
Shogun is an absolute bore fest. Visually it is fantastic but the writing is bad and the two main characters are wholly unlikeable.
True Detective NC was good, but they could have toned down the slapstick humour a bit. Was lacking a more serious tone in my view.
have your say
