Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Permanent TSB and AIB

Mr. Shane O'Sullivan:

I will be happy to answer that. In terms of the MARP, we do not abide by the ISI guidelines and we have our own guidelines in place by which we abide. However, once a borrower is in the personal insolvency regime, we clearly abide by the ISI guidelines.

Our guidelines are possibly more comprehensive than the ISI ones in that the ISI guidelines have different clusters of demographics, say, six different type of individuals or families, and they provide one figure as the typical expenditure for each one of those clusters. We prefer to operate on a range basis. While we might have the same number of demographics, rather than have one figure we will have a range for each of those demographics.
