Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB
9:30 am
Mr. Eamonn Crowley:
It is about 400. We are talking to the Housing Agency, in the context of the hundreds of properties it is considering, with regard to bringing them into the social scheme. Within that population we have approximately 200 properties in the housing assistance payment, HAP, scheme. There are many conversations taking place with both the Housing Agency and other agencies on trying to move that property back onto the market as fast as possible. We received the properties in a vacant state from landlords who had left them in that state. The key thing is that we get them back out onto the market either by way of the Housing Agency or other agencies-----
