Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

Revised plans were received from Bank of Ireland, AIB, Anglo Irish Bank, Irish Nationwide and EBS and were approved. I do not have the information relating to Irish Life to hand.

Before I became the holder of the shares referred to, I inquired of Mr. Fingleton's position. The legal advice given to the Irish Nationwide Building Society indicated that the 2008 €1 million bonus payment to the former chief executive officer was a contractual one and its payment did not contravene the bank guarantee scheme.
