Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with AIB
6:15 pm
Mr. Brendan O'Connor:
It will probably be significantly more than hundreds of millions of euro. The last piece of the jigsaw is personal insolvency because one of the big issues we face is trying to resolve multi-debt situations and there is not the protocol that is established in most other countries as to how that is dealt with. It is the last piece of the jigsaw in terms of getting norms established for how unsecured debt gets written down, etc. That is the last piece of the jigsaw. While, from a capital perspective, hundreds of millions of euro would be better, I suspect it will be significantly higher than that.
