Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB

9:30 am

Mr. Jeremy Masding:

I cannot comment on how an investment manager would operate. From my perspective I will just repeat that in 2012, long-term forbearance was agreed by Ireland. We were asked as a management team to execute that. One of the tools we used was split mortgages and at the time we felt that the three-year review was the right intervention because we felt it was right to have a regular dialogue with the customers and to try to help the customers to move as much from the warehouse into the main mortgage, because obviously the warehouse is still due and at maturity we wanted to be sure that there was a reasonable opportunity for the customers to remain in their homes. That is how we think about the three-year review.
