Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Permanent TSB and AIB

Mr. Shane O'Sullivan:

Generally, we see interest-only payments as a legitimate treatment but we are cautious about how it is deployed and where it is used. For example, in our buy-to-let portfolio we use interest-only payments. It is categorised as "reduced payments" rather than interest-only payments in line six of the document we supplied to the committee.
