Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome all our guests from AIB to the committee. We will start with the issue Dr. Hunt raised about Goodbody stockbroker. He mentioned that there was a work-around with the remuneration. Previously, AIB, in its annual publication of its accounts, suggested it would look at an enhanced remuneration, where bonuses would be reintroduced. As CEO of the bank, Dr. Hunt will know that that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I thank Dr. Hunt for the background. To repeat my question: how does the Minister for Finance - in Dr. Hunt’s understanding, because it was he who requested it - have the ability to designate the acquisition of Goodbody as outside the group company for remuneration purposes?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Obviously, the derogation is that it would be outside of the group company so it therefore does not apply. I ask the CEO to give us, not individual pay scales, but to talk about the varied salary that applies to wealth managers within this new entity? What types of bonuses are there? I see online that there can be bonuses up to €0.5 million. Is that in the ballpark?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: For wealth managers, would it be right to say that bonuses are up to €250,000? I am not asking about individuals. I am talking about the average across the type of sector. What are we talking about?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Obviously, the difference is that when Goodbody was owned by Fexco, it was completely private. Today, it is owned by majority by Irish taxpayers. Therefore, you cannot argue that the same remuneration applies in the private sector as is potentially in the public sector at all times. I want to talk to Dr. Hunt more about looking into the future in capital requirements. The return on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I hear what Dr. Hunt is saying. There seems to be an acceptance by him that the model is the model and, since the losses will be factored in in perpetuity, we must balance them out with better, safer and more prudent lending. That could take us into a different conversation about banks' risk appetite at this point in time. It is important that we lend into the economy as we try to come out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I will not belabour the point, but I would love to know whether AIB has medium-term targets for risk-weighted assets. I wish to ask some final questions on the tracker mortgage examination. AIB had to make an additional provision of €300 million following the preliminary decision by the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman relating to approximately 5,900 tracker customers who...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: AIB (30 Jun 2021)
