I am interested in discovering what the Irish government and therefore the country's position is towards the European Union's Multi-annual financial framework 2021-2027 negotiations. This document could take form on an executive summary, working party report, position paper, an impact assessment or something of a similar nature that would shed light on the governments official position towards these negotiations. After some research on government websites, I could not find any official documents stating the position of the Irish government when the European Commission proposed the Multi- annual financial framework of 2021-2027. If it is the case that the information that I require is already readily available online then I apologise for taking up your time.
