The status of the Special Liquidation as at 31 December 2015 is set out in a third progress update report published by the Special Liquidators on 27 May 2016 and which is available on the Department of Finance website through the following link:

I am advised by the Special Liquidators that there are €3.55 billion of loans remaining to be sold. The main reason these loans have not been sold is primarily due to ongoing litigation. It is not possible to provide a timeframe for the completion of the sale of these loans at this time due to the aforementioned litigation.

The Special Liquidators further advise me that it is not possible to estimate the financial outturn from the liquidation at this time given that there remains a number of tasks in the liquidation to be completed including the on-going management of over 350 legal cases, the completion of the creditor adjudication process, the work with the Commission of Investigation, the management of the remaining loan book and the realisation of all remaining assets.
