Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland

7:10 pm

Mr. John O'Beirne:

No owner-occupier loses their tracker as part of restructuring. That was not part of the examination because that did not occur. As part of the restructuring for buy-to-let mortgages on investment properties customers were moved to a tracker rate plus 1%, which has been the same and has stayed constant over that period and they have not been deemed to have been impacted under the examination because the movement of the customer was based on the need to restructure the mortgage, either for an extended term or other reasons, depending on the circumstances of those customers.
