The terms of the Government's guarantee are laid down in the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Scheme 2008, pursuant to the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Act 2008.

Under the terms of the Scheme, covered institutions pay a quarterly charge to the Exchequer in respect of the guarantee provided under the Scheme.
In the case of Anglo Irish Bank, the bank is being run on an arm's length commercial basis by the Board of Anglo.
