Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Allied Irish Banks

9:30 am

Mr. Jim O'Keeffe:

First of all, that is the position we are adopting. However, I genuinely put that in the context of the wider plan which we have. We set out a number of streams in the document. We continue to restructure with customers at a very strong pace. We continue to put almost 1,000 solutions in place a month. We have communicated. We have given great consideration to the nature of our plan and to putting in place the mortgage-to-rent scheme in order to make space to work with our family home customers over that period. The proof point from our perspective is that, when we have done what we have said we were going to do, we will bring it forward and we will put it into place. These are stepping stones in this regard and are very important. We have to meet the targets that are set out and we have taken a very considered approach to allow us to do that and to create the space for us to get to that point. That is my contention.
