- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 May 2015)

I welcome Mr. Moran and his team. In referring to who is paying the appointee and to what his job will be, it would be wrong to make any inference about impartiality. The success of the liquidation of the IBRC to date has far exceeded the expectations at the time of the promissory note...

It is easy to look back with the benefit of hindsight, based on things having changed, but at the time in question one was looking at a very dormant, bleak balance sheet.

I am glad to put my remarks on the record because people often take just one issue, which can have an impact on the perception of the success of the Department to date. I congratulate the witnesses on their success to date.

Can Ms Nolan please clarify the reference in submissions to the IBRC as having been in existence before 1 July 2011? Correspondence I have received implies it was in existence prior to that date.

Chapter 2 - Government Debt and Finance Accounts 2013 (14 May 2015) John Perry: Given that the core assignment for IBRC was to deal with the toxic loan portfolios of both of these banks, can the witnesses tell the committee what relationship framework measures were put in place to manage the Department of Finance and the new IBRC, which was quite different? One must remember the timeframe. On 1 January 2009, Anglo Irish Bank was put into State ownership. On 31 March,...

I refer to the framework document, specifically regarding Irish Nationwide Building Society. These are all toxic debts in cases that were absolutely hopeless. Obviously, from 2009 up to that period, it was very much a loose arrangement, but from that date on, in the light of the scale of what was being taken over, was there much of a...
