To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 63 on 27 February 2013, if he will confirm if it is KPMG corporate finance that will provide the independent valuation of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation mortgage loanbook. [12626/13]

As part of the role of the liquidators, the assets of IBRC will be valued independently before being sold. Any assets not sold to third parties (including loan counterparties and other financial institutions) at or above the valuation price will be sold to NAMA at the independent valuation. As such, I have been advised that KPMG corporate finance will not be appointed as part of this process and that the valuation will be undertaken by independent professional advisor(s) or valuer(s).

Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson of KPMG have been appointed as Special Liquidators to IBRC. I am satisfied that each person appointed as Special liquidator has the appropriate level of skill, knowledge and qualifications required to perform the functions of a Special Liquidator pursuant to the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Act 2013. The Special Liquidators are still in the process of devising and implementing a sales process in respect of IBRC’s assets including the mortgage portfolio. Once this is devised I am advised that the Special Liquidators will be appointing independent sales advisors to manage the sales process. This process will be overseen by the Special Liquidators to ensure that deadlines are being met and that the best value is achieved.
