Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland

7:10 pm

Mr. John O'Beirne:

The staff that we have put back onto the correct tracker rate are that cohort the Deputy is talking about. When we went through the documentation we saw that memo referenced by Deputy Doherty. It was issued in October 2008. It did refer to the original contract. However, it also had the original language read out by the Deputy, which stated that it would roll back to a tracker. That was one of the groups we were in discussions with through the last period of time in the examination. The majority of those customers who went to a two-year fixed rate did roll back and have been put back on a tracker mortgage.
