Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

Based on the information provided by me in mid-September to this House, the scale of Anglo Irish Bank's NAMA-eligible loans are such that they will give rise to some additional capital requirement for the State - there is no question about that. I am currently assessing the scale of any further capital support for Anglo Irish Bank in light of the emerging accounting end-year financial position of the bank and the likely impact of the NAMA transfers over the course of 2010.

Anglo Irish Bank is currently preparing its accounts for the 15-month period to 31 March 2010. These accounts have not been finalised and it would, therefore, not be appropriate for me to comment on those-----
