MINISTER FOR FINANCE Michael Noonan has a series of meetings planned with other Eurozone finance ministers next week to discuss the way forward for Europe’s damaged economy.
Noonan will meet with his French, German and Italian counterparts on Wednesday and Thursday before travelling to Cyprus where EU ministers will reconvene on Friday.
The Irish Examiner reported Noonan intends to push for a deal to ease the terms of its costly bank bailout by next month.
A spokesperson for the Department of Finance told TheJournal.ie that the meetings were “part of the ongoing talks building on the summit agreement in June”.
At the summit in late June, eurozone countries agreed that rescue funds could be used to stabilise bond markets without forcing countries to impose extra austerity measures. The deal also involved the establishment of a supervisory body for eurozone banks by the end of 2012 bringing us one step closer to a European banking union.
The Department of Finance spokesperson said it was “important to discuss where we are now and what’s ahead and so there will be a series of government and ministerial meetings next week”.
The Minister will travel to Paris on Wednesday for his first meeting with French Finance Minister, Pierre Moscovici.

The terminator you ain’t.
Terminated you will be..
If he was in Ireland he would get community service ……
No no a suspended sentence
Yeah. Why does every serious crime in Ireland get like 8 years with 6 years suspended. They should just say what it is… 1 year with good behaviour. 2 years if you attack the prison officers while you’re inside.
A bullet straight between the eyes… Two minutes after he leaves the court. Never mind WASTING 100′s of thousands on banging them up for year’s.
Handcuff in a cell and let the relatives in .
Its easy to say that in this case. Every case is not so simple
Seems like a nice fella ….
Looks can be very deceiving! Like me. I might look like an egg but I’m hard as a rock…
That headline sent a shiver down my spine before I read the article!
I Thought some northsider from Finglas or Coolock had broken through the security checkpoints on the Liffey & was on a rampage on this side of the city where the decent folk live! ..phew!
Yeah he’s not the worst
You were told as a chicken not to stay in the hot water too long Paperboy ..and did you listen? :- No – you and your hard boiled brains …..
We note the value placed on the unborn child in the case; that he got ’15 to life’ for that murder.
Note the term “viable”, meaning that it could have been delivered and survived.
If a woman miscarries after 24 weeks the baby is given a birth and death very as it has passed the point of viability. It doesn’t get either if it is miscarried any sooner.
I understand the need for revenge however I would much prefer if he rotted in a cell for the rest of his life. He could also be studied by criminal psychologists who might gain a greater insight into how criminals work. Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacey could have provided invaluable research that could have maybe been used to help catch offenders and saved lives in the future but now we will never know.
And these ones too:
Mark Goudeau “The Baseline Killer” (Eight women and a man in 2005-2006)
Coral Eugene Watts (11 women in Texas & 1 in Michigan)
Matthew Emanuel Macon (Murdered and Raped 5 White Women in Lansing)
Chester Turner (L.A.s most prolific killer 12 women killed.)
Ray Joseph Dandridge and his uncle, Ricky Gevon Gray (Richmond, VA.–Murdered 7 people in 7 days, including an entire family.)
Wayne Williams (33 many of them children!, Atlanta, GA)
Maurice Byrd (killed 20 + in St. Louis)
Maury Travis (17 and rising, St. Louis and possibly also Atlanta)
Eddie Lee Mosley (killed 25 to 30 women, south Florida)
One has to wonder why Dahmer and Gacey are more known and have more airtime?
@Ciara. Don’t forget:
George Bush (countless men, woman and children)
@David
And Obama who has surpassed Bush’s atrocities all at the behest of their masters in Wall st and the US federal reserve.
The fecking yanks, the moral compass for humanity eh?
Murdering, raping and butchering before and after them.
Saves the state money if he is executed, sooner the better
“I’ll be back.”
Unless you mean back in a court room for other bad shit you did, I can safely say, you definitely won’t be.
An Arnie fan?..
I hope this beast has one of those botched executions that have been happening in the States this year. And I hope he survives the first attempt, because then he’ll know what he has to look forward to again.
There’s positivity for you. A real optimist. Unfortunately Mr. Turner once the needles are put into you the only place you’re going is to Hell.
Just burn him at a stake, end of it, cut the money train for lawyers too that see $$$$$ in keeping him alive for as long as possible, with zero regard for victims families.
I wonder would the do gooders feel he should not be executed??
TBH if I were facing the prospect of spending the rest of my life in an 8′*6′ cell I’d request the death penalty.Why put the guy out of his misery. He is going to die anyway sooner or later.I really don’t understand why people think death is the ultimate punishment. We all die in the end.
Most people who oppose capital punishment oppose it because innocent people get executed.
Cases look simple in the 2paragraph summary in the paper but when you’re on the jury and see the nitty gritty its often far more grey.
I don’t reckon he should be executed. I reckon he should be punished. Death isn’t a punishment, when you die you die – death is too good for him.
I’d prefer to see him suffer – a lifetime in solitary with only his memories to haunt him. Let his life slip away in the slowest way possible. Let him be acutely aware of it.
There are some things far worse than death.
I don’t think he should be executed. I think they should lock him up and throw away the key. Let him live the rest of his life (and may it be a very, very long one) knowing that he will never been free again. And that’s not because I’m a do-gooder, it’s because death, even in a botched execution, comes far too quickly murders and rapists like this man.
Dont waste time and money, execute this monster now
Makes Larry Murphy look like an upstanding decent citizen.
No it doesn’t. Makes them both look despicable.
I wasn’t actually serious. However, If i had to choose one of them as a roomie, it would be Larry Murphy hands down.
*cellmate
American cities are human cess pits.
Evil
It’s interesting to see how and why the crack epidemic started in the first place!
Did he kill the rostas girl lol
Your some gowl you Declan boy.
Oh Declan, you intellect you
Half wits like you should not be allowed to publish your stupidity.
Jeez, just imagine if he does come back….de smell, de maggots, de big scary skeleton head on him!!! He’d be even more vile de second time around!!!
In the words of Bruce Willis Geronimo motherf@cker..
What an epic fail
He said it in Die Hard as he threw the explosives down the shaft!
He’s a big unit maybe the injection won’t kill him
I wonder will he serve the four death sentences concurrently?
Feel like listening to johnny cash after reading this article…san quentin you’ve been living hell to me…
If I were the president of Nicuragua I’d be onto the Pope right now and see if he could do anything about preventing this guy from coming back !
have your say
