Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: I would like to be associated with Deputy MacSharry's proposal. I know it has been seconded but I would certainly like to endorse it. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill asked about KfW. It might be more appropriate for Mr. Mangan to answer. I am interested in this point. KfW left the SBCI scheme. Is that correct? These are going to be "Yes" or "No" answers, particularly because of the...

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: Despite the terms of the agreement, as far as I am aware, they left it after four years, even though they were entwined for six. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: They left it after four years. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: They joined in 2014 and left in 2018. That is four years. If they left it, why did their logo still appear on the website for two years and why was it only removed when that was questioned?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: SBCI did not have their money, did it?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: SBCI had people under the illusion that they were still part of this contribution but they had received all of their money back. Is that not correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: I cannot understand why SBCI would display a logo for a bank. Did they not question that? Did KfW not question it?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: Why did they withdraw their money?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: They did not request repayment. SBCI just gave them their money back after four years.

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: SBCI gave them back €150 million, if I am not mistaken, and it sourced that somewhere else. Was that a decision made by the board and was the Minister for Finance consulted on that?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: As there is limited time, can Mr. Black come back and clarify that, please? There was no press release and it was not made public at that time. Was there any reason for that?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: Despite how the money was raised, SBCI appeared in front of the finance committee but it did not disclose that KfW had left or that it still had their logo on its website. Was there some reason for that? Why did SBCI remove the logo? If what Mr Black is saying is true, why did SBCI remove the logo when it was questioned why it was there, when they were no longer funding this, or...

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: Why did SBCI take down the logo?

Public Accounts Committee: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019 (9 Mar 2021)

Verona Murphy: I think the confusion is why, when they were paid back, SBCI left it up. That is the question that needs answering. One does not tally with the other. If SBCI left it up for two years and then took it down because a freedom of information, FOI, request was made, that does not make sense. The relationship has not changed, has it? Did the relationship change in that time?
