The table above sets out the amount of capital injected by the State into the Irish Banking System to date. The Central Bank has set out the further capital that will be required by AIB, BOI and EBS in order for them to meet a 12% core tier 1 ratio by the end of February 2011 as agreed in the Programme for Financial Support with the IMF, EU and the ECB.

The State remains committed to meeting this capital requirement to the extent that it cannot be met from other sources.
