Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Ulster Bank
2:50 pm
Mr. Jim Brown:
No, two things happened in terms of a loan and a grant. Basically, when Ulster Bank took the losses that it did in the past four or five years, the parent, the Royal Bank of Scotland, injected capital to the equivalent of £15 billion. That is capital and it is in the bank. In terms of issues during the euro crisis early on and the financial crisis, part of our funding was provided by the parent but we now virtually fund all of our liquidity domestically.
