Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

Monitoring of funding is principally a matter for the Central Bank. While funding arrangements would not normally be disclosed other than by the covered institutions in public announcements, I have requested the Central Bank to brief the Opposition and give it whatever information it can on bond redemptions by the covered institutions.
