I propose to take Questions Nos. 123 to 126, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) that the Fund information for 31 December 2018 is not yet available, however preliminary information will be published no later than 1 February 2019.

In the interim, please find as follows the requested information for 30 June 2018.

The assets in the ISIF Discretionary Portfolio amount to €8.9 billion. The return of the ISIF Discretionary Portfolio has been +2.3% per annum since inception and -0.3% for the first half of 2018.

The table contains a breakdown of the Directed portfolio.

Bank of Ireland (Ordinary Shares)€1.0bn
AIB (Ordinary Shares)€9.0bn
Total Bank Investments€10.bn
Cash €0.2bn
TOTAL Directed Portfolio value€10.2bn

The return of the Directed portfolio has been +5.3% per annum since inception and -10.9% for the first half of 2018.
