Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Paradise Papers (Resumed): Allied Irish Banks
9:30 am
Mr. Bernard Byrne:
I was going to say we would be before the committee next month and that we would go through the issue in great detail. The Minister's statement informed by the Central Bank's position, which is ongoing, will be issued next week. We will not get involved in early disclosures in that respect because we do not have the information. The last time we made a public statement, we commented on the fact that we had progressed pretty well. On the total number of cases that have been identified and in which compensation has been paid, we are at a figure of more than 90%. We have progressed well with those we have identified, but we have always said the programme will continue within the remit of the Central Bank and that it will not conclude until 2018.
