I can confirm for the Deputy that the following amounts have been received since the bank liability guarantee scheme and bank recapitalisation measures were taken:

Disposal of banking investments - €5.5bn

Income from banking investments - €1.8bn

Fees from bank liability guarantee schemes - CIFS/ELG - €4.4bn*

In addition to these amounts, which are directly related to banking stabilisation measures, a total of €125m was received in both 2014 and 2015 from AIB, BOI and PTSB, arising from the bank levy introduced in Finance Act 2014. Finally the State expects to receive another €1.64bn approximately from the recently announced capital reorganisation at AIB when this is complete.

*CIFS/ELG fees include €0.5bn from IBRC.
