Of that €10 billion, do we know that €6 billion has been repaid and that €4 has gone towards performing loans? Alternatively, has €8 billion gone towards performing loans, with only €2 billion being...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Allied Irish Banks (26 Sep 2017)
Gerry Horkan: On non-performing loans, the reduction from €30 billion to €7.8 billion is impressive, but since the bank was 100% owned by the State when this happened, the shareholder, the State, has ultimately taken the hit. I accept and hope the sales of the shares may over time yield a return of 100% or more. The more, the better, but I was intrigued by the question about how it was all...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Allied Irish Banks (26 Sep 2017)
Gerry Horkan: Approximately €12 billion was written off or that amount was used up. I have a brief final question. Regarding the head of homes title in various parts of the bank's network, what does the head of homes actually do? Does it basically involve approving mortgages on behalf of individuals-----

- Seanad: Mid-Term Review of Capital Plan: Statements (27 Sep 2017)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State. He is very welcome to our new Chamber. It is my first time speaking in it. A fine body of work has been done. I would not mention too much about possession being nine tenths of the law. The Minister might frighten a few people. Those were his words and not mine. I am sure we will be looking forward to going back to our new Chamber-----
- Seanad: Mid-Term Review of Capital Plan: Statements (27 Sep 2017)

We are only one year into it. It is probably not really a mid-term review, but a review of the early part of the term. Unfortunately, the announcement in 2015 did not say much. There was much fanfare but...
