Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation (14 Dec 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I find it objectionable that unsecured or subordinated debt would be repaid. They have been accelerating the sale of the floating rate bonds and are ahead of schedule because of interest rates and the NTMA. We never had the game changer which was related to the promissory notes. Have we fully accepted this and has there been any challenge to it? Is there any follow-up to the commitments...

Catherine Murphy: I can accept that things have changed with AIB and Bank of Ireland, in particular, but IBRC and Irish Nationwide Building Society were a different proposition. Most of us understood the promissory notes represented money that was being extinguished. That was the word used when some of us met the Governor of the Central Bank. I am reminded that Ashoka Mody, one of the people involved on the...

Catherine Murphy: With others, I met Mr. Philip Lane and addressed this issue with him. When we asked him if it would be impossible to address the issue, he said it would be difficult but that it could happen at a political level. Would Mr. Dorgan agree?

Catherine Murphy: I want to skip through a number of matters. Mr. Carville talked about the net amount in respect of the cost of the bank, stabilisation measures and capitalisation. I assume that the Department did not include the tax forgone that can be set aside for up to 20 years and which was recently in the news. Has the Department calculated what that might have otherwise been?

Catherine Murphy: There is actually nothing similar to big corporates and the banks in these circumstances given that they would not exist if it were not for money that was put in by the National Pensions Reserve Fund and borrowings for which we are going to pay. Therefore, there is a very big difference and it does not appear that there is a Statute of Limitations, even uniquely on the banks, in respect of...
