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

9:30 am

Mr. Jim O'Keeffe:

I will respond to that point and then Mr. Bourke will come in on the wider point. I hope we have proven that we are very open to looking at different solutions. I know that the iCare management team has certain thoughts around progressing beyond the current enhanced mortgage-to-rent scheme we are looking at. We are very open to engaging with iCare in looking at that, because it is incumbent on us all, and I would hope that if there are solutions for the loans that we would undertake them. We have already shown that there is a willingness to provide discounts and write-offs of residual debt through the iCare programme so we could also see if there is a phase 2 that we would be willing to consider it and take it into account.
