Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB
9:30 am
Mr. Jeremy Masding:
My form is to allow the tracker review to be assured by the Central Bank. Given that we are in enforcement, I am very wary of making any statements which conflict with that review. If I made that comment about Springboard, then it would be true. Of course, Springboard is just a small area. My interpretation of the question the Deputy asked was to refer to Permanent TSB because that is where I naturally default to. We are still having enforcement conversations with that bank. I do not believe that, in a legal sense, I have perjured myself in any way, shape or form. The comments I made were about Springboard.
