Say somebody has a house worth €200,000 and owes Bank of Ireland €300,000. There is an assisted voluntary sale leaving a residual debt of €100,000. That is clearly unsecured debt because there is no asset against it. Am I right that Bank of Ireland will not write down that unsecured debt under any circumstances that do not involve bankruptcy?
