Dara Calleary: I have a number of general questions. Mr. O'Connor said that AIB did €4.3 billion in lending in 2013, or approved €4.3 billion. How much of that was drawn down during the course of the year? What plans does AIB have to increase the draw-down rate?

If the answer is in the negative, will he indicate when one will be prepared and submitted to the Commission for consideration? The role played by Ms Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, our Commissioner to the EU, in respect of this matter should be acknowledged. This is the only area in respect of which an increase has been...
- Other Questions: Horizon 2020 Strategy Funding (15 Apr 2014)
