Pearse Doherty: We are one hour and 20 minutes into this meeting and I have not been given much in the way of information.

Those individuals are directors of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)

Pearse Doherty: Will the fact that Permanent TSB holds 5% exempt the SPV from tax as a section 110 company? Does the prospectus not specifically mention a way around the legislation which this committee introduced to close this loophole? It is because Permanent TSB, as the originator of these loans, will hold a beneficial interest of 5%. If our guests do not want to admit that, it is in the prospectus in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)

Pearse Doherty: I know that. I am trying to get to a point but Mr. Crowley is filibustering. Perhaps I could ask Mr. Ryan, who quoted from the prospectus.
