National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: We put all of this money into the banks and got shares back, but in one year alone the value of the State's shareholding has dropped by over €3 billion.

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: It might reflect the market, but it also reflects the fact that the taxpayer lost €3 billion because these companies' share prices dropped. In current value terms, is the State potentially down €3 billion because the share prices of both banks dropped?

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: There is now a concern about bank stabilisation in other countries. We are hearing stories about the possibility that banks in other countries will need to be recapitalised again. Has the Comptroller and Auditor General done any work on the issue of bank stabilisation to look at this area, in particular, and what the State put into the banks and then at whether the share value has gone up...

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: It is a restatement of what we already know, that Anglo Irish Bank was the noose around the State's neck when it was nationalised. Obviously, it came at a big cost. If the overall figure of what it is going to cost us in terms of what we put into the banks is €40 billion-----

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: -----the interest we are paying over five years is €33 billion. I do not need a response, but when people hear these figures, it sounds like Monopoly money. However, €33 billion is a huge amount of money when one considers how many hospitals and schools we need and the investment needed in and the pressures on public services. It is extraordinary that we have gone through...

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: We received a briefing note from the Department of Finance on the Apple escrow account. The NTMA's presentation was excellent across all of the key areas. The Apple escrow account lost €16 million in value up to December 2018. While it might seem like a small figure in the context of the total sum of €14.269 billion in the fund, how did the loss occur?

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: There are only two potential outcomes. There is an appeal against the Commission's decision in the first instance. If the Commission sustains its original decision, the State will get the €14.269 billion and the question will be how it should spend it. If the Government wins and the taxpayer loses, I take it that Apple will get its money back. Will it only get what is in the fund?...

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: Does the NTMA have any sense of how long the process will take before a decision is made? I imagine it will impact on the type of investments to be made, will it not?

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) David Cullinane: I refer to the voluntary redundancy scheme that operates within the NTMA. It is not something that is generally available in the public sector. My understanding - I might be wrong - is that one of the few other semi-State or Government agencies to run a similar scheme is NAMA, but there may be others. Why is there a voluntary redundancy scheme in place? It seems to be a very attractive...
