- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is it possible, based on interpretation, that a situation may arise where split mortgages would be deemed to be performing mortgages - which they are, in essence, as they are based on the agreements at the time - and they will not form part of this sale to the vulture funds?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: How long ago did Permanent TSB write to the SSM?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: Can the witnesses say, for the ordinary person, why they have not gone over to meet the SSM? I am assuming they are not meeting them. The consequences for people are huge. There are petrified people out there. This applies to people with various types of mortgage, for example, those with split mortgages who most likely went through a painstaking process with Permanent TSB, including...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect to the witnesses they have already put out a tentative invitation to various funds - including vulture funds, and some Irish banks, I hope - to purchase these loans.

We accept the point that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is not going to happen overnight. The taxpayer knows that this takes time. However, I find it difficult to understand why the bank went to the market, even tentatively, without having the issue of the split mortgages fully clarified by the SSM.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: The question I asked is why the bank sought various funds, both inside and outside Ireland, without having the matter of the split mortgages clarified. The split mortgages make up almost a quarter of the loan book the bank is seeking to sell.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Sale of Non-Performing Loans to Private Investment Funds (Vulture Funds): Permanent TSB (22 Mar 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: There are mortgage holders out there who want answers. We appreciate that we need a proper functioning banking system. It is clearly important that Permanent TSB is in the market and is lending, but a balance must be struck. Mortgage holders must be protected in that overall context.
