The Minister knows our view on the timing of the sale of Bank of Ireland shares. Why did he decide to sell the shares now and not in 2017 when the share price was worth approximately €500 million more than today? Banks made a loss in the recent period but the economy is recovering and banks will recover too. Why has the Minister decided to sell shares now as opposed to 2017 when they were valued by the State at close to €500 million more than they are currently?
