Narrative:
At cruise altitude received a 'hydraulic G engine 1 pump lo press' ECAM followed by 'hydraulic G rsvr lo lvl' ECAM; followed by a 'ptu fault' ECAM. We performed the ECAM procedures and determined the landing length requirement at the same time contacted our controlling dispatcher who also determined that we were able to continue to our destination. We declared an emergency with approach; asked to have equipment standing by and requested the ILS rather than the usual approach. We manually extended the landing gear; made a normal landing and were able to clear the runway onto runway xx holding short of lima. The emergency crew did an aircraft walk around and cleared our company tug to tow us to the gate.
