The bank guarantee schemes to which the Deputy refers that have been in place since 2008 are the Credit Institutions Financial Support Scheme 2008 (CIFS Scheme), which was in operation between 30 September, 2008, and 29 September, 2010, and the Eligible Liabilities Guarantee Scheme (ELG Scheme) which came into operation on 9 December, 2009, and has a current issuance end date of 30 June, 2012, subject to review by the EU Commission. The total amount of income received to date from the banks covered by both schemes amounts to €2,861.04mn.

This amount breaks down as follows:

Fees and interest accrued paid into the Exchequer

Recoupment of Administrative and Legal Costs

Covered Institutions have signed up to agreements under both Schemes involving an undertaking to pay my Department on demand all legal and administrative costs from time to time incurred in any way in connection with the making of the Schemes and the giving of the guarantees. A total of €5.14mn. has been received to date for recoupment of administrative and legal costs in support of both the CIFS and ELG Schemes.

Budget Profiles for 2012

The Deputy will be aware of this year's budget forecast for income from fees under the ELG Scheme which is estimated to be €800mn.

A further €150,000 is expected in receipts for recoupment of administrative and legal costs for support of the ELG Scheme in 2012.
