Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Alan Merriman:

Absolutely, and again, just to give ... I might have some numbers here but just to give a context. Look, I can't find it. Broadly speaking, I think, by 2002 the commercial lending book was in the order of €800 million; by 2005 it was €1.5 billion; development finance lending was clearly, for us, done around this point in time, you can see it from the records here yourself. So, this was a clearly an embedded strategy within EBS, well before I arrived.
