Mr. Brian Hayes:

The good news there, and I will give the Deputy the latest figures because it is always good to put these facts into the public domain, is that of the €29.3 billion that went into AIB, Bank of Ireland and PTSB, €23.1 billion has been returned to the Exchequer and €5.2 billion remains in current valuation of the public shareholding position of AIB and PTSB. That leaves then an outstanding €1.1 billion. Therefore, 95% of the money that was put in between 2009 and 2011 thanks to the Irish taxpayer has been returned
