Ireland to issue 10-14 billion euros of bonds in 2026

Ireland's debt agency plans to raise between 10 billion euros ($11.6 billion) and 14 billion euros on the bond market in 2026, up from a target of between 6 billion to 10 billion euros this year, it said on Tuesday.

The higher target reflects 15 billion euro in debt maturities in 2026, it said.

"The strong Exchequer funding position means we are well positioned entering 2026," the agency said in a statement. ($1 = 0.8582 euros) (Writing by Conor Humphries; Editing by William James)
