Annual Report and Accounts 2012: Discussion with IDA Ireland

Ms Regina Gannon:

That is correct. The impairments in the years prior to 2012 were actually greater and that was a reflection of the land prices nationally at the time. It reduced to €15 million in 2012 because the impairments are actually tapering off due to the reductions in value. The impairment reflects the estimated recoverable value less the net book value.
