I am informed that none of the bodies under the aegis of my Department have an involvement in or have representatives attending Saudi Arabia’s Future Investment Initiative.

Regarding State-backed banks, my Department does not hold the information that the Deputy is requesting. However, officials from my Department have contacted the banks in question and have received the following responses:

AIB Investor Relations: “As far as we can ascertain, no one from AIB is attending the Saudi Arabia Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh on 23-25 October.”

PTSB Investor Relations: “We have no representation at the event mentioned below”.
