Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) John McGuinness: The kernel of this problem is that when the banks are being examined in terms of the stress test, the figures and the statistics they give Mr. Moran hide the fact that individuals simply cannot pay the debt. There are significantly more of those people, and SMEs than is being discussed in their conversation with Mr. Moran and the Department. I say that because I have seen the letters that...

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) John McGuinness: What type of provision have they made for bad debts relating to mortgages that will not be repaid by people who are now out of work and are in houses that were purchased for €250,000 but are now valued at, for example, €80,000? There must be a figure for such cases. What provision has been made in respect of the SME sector? How much money will the banks need to deal with all...

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) John McGuinness: Where would we be without our own adviser on the right-hand side? President Barroso’s former adviser made the statement and it has been recognised, but there is no tangible result that would allow us to deal more sympathetically with the businesses and individuals who, having had their lives ruined, now want to move on and do something different. Has Mr. Moran any opinion in this regard?

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) John McGuinness: The reality is that retailers, for example, have exhausted all of their money. Their savings are gone. Some of them are staying open out of pride. They would have a good business if only the overall debt was dealt with. It might have been debt created by the purchase of property, as Mr. Moran said. The banks are not responding to them in any real or meaningful terms. I am shocked by the...

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) John McGuinness: I have no wish to labour this any more, but there is a problem with the banks and how they deal with individual mortgage holders and the SME sector at a particular level. This is my final question for Mr. Moran. Will he please acknowledge that and have it as part of the conversation with the banks on a regular basis? Have the banks given him a figure relating to those mortgages and SMEs...

The chairman is on €590,000 and the chairman of Bank of Ireland is on €480,000. How does the figure of €843,000 compare with AIB? What is Mr. Moran's input?
