Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Bank of Ireland
12:15 pm
Mr. Richie Boucher:
I beg Deputy Donnelly's pardon. I have actually just said that the forbearance costs the bank money. It costs the bank money because we have to borrow the money. If we are not getting amortisation in accordance with our expectations, we have to borrow the money in the market or pay a deposit. Therefore, it does cost us money. Every forbearance costs us money. That is why it is disclosed in our accounts. It is an important issue for investors.
