I do not have the figure available to me on the average interest rate and our national debt, but I know that the figure is in excess of €200 billion. That figure is too high. The sale of AIB would offer the ability to gain back in total €12 billion, roughly based on current market valuation. That is a very significant change in our country's level of national debt.
