LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Ireland (OTC BB: IRLD - news) is looking to issue a 10-year bond in the first half of this year and is on track to be able to fully fund itself via the open market by 2014, its finance minister Michael Noonan said on Thursday.
"I think the issuance will be 10 year and that will be one of the serious tests of market conditions and of our ability to get back into the market," Noonan told a Bloomberg event in London.
"I would like that we would be back into the markets fully by 2014 ... and at present I think we are on track."
