I have done so. Leaving aside the recent sale, AIB has not sold principal dwelling homes, PDHs, which is an important point for many of us. We recognise AIB's engagement with iCare in terms of mortgage-to-rent. In some areas, AIB has broken new ground but there are issues in terms of its sales to vulture funds which will take a different approach to the approach taken by the bank.

When the European Central Bank was before the committee I asked if it would support the sale of mortgage portfolios to non-profit organisations. Is AIB supportive of that proposal? In this regard, I am speaking about organisations involved in debt restructuring, but not to make a quick buck. Would AIB be willing to examine that proposal?
