I can confirm for the Deputy the following in relation to the current valuation of the State's remaining investments in AIB, Bank of Ireland and Permanent tsb.

Permanent tsbContingent capital (CoCo)€0.4bnPar redemption value

In addition to its investment in the CoCo, the State also has invested €2.3bn in Permanent tsb equity in July 2011.  The State holds this investment at the investment value in the Finance Accounts. No recent independent valuation has been commissioned, nor is such an independent valuation required for the Finance Accounts.
