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

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Bourke:

Although there is a lot of information in the press, and a huge dispersion of potential numbers, any portfolio sale that we might consider changes over time. Where we have undertaken a portfolio sale in the past, we started at one level of about €500 million and the final portfolio sale was about €200 million. The reason for that was that we managed to get individual restructurings concluded and engagement from clients who were originally part of what was finally a portfolio sale. The fact that detail appears to be very precise in the media is not something that should lead the Deputy to conclude as he has.
