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

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Bank of Ireland

Mr. Gavin Kelly:

The macroprudential rule is 3.5 times which sets the mortgage debt for a customer at roughly 30% or 35% of their take home pay. That feels about right to me. There are exceptions for customers in different circumstances who could probably afford to go a bit higher but that feels right and hits the right price point.
