View answerI am advised by the Central Bank that the total principal paid to senior bondholders during the period from 1st October 2008 to June 2011 was €77.3bn. Of this amount €5.8bn was paid to senior bondholders during the period 1 January 2011 to June 2011. The Deputy should note that these amounts include scheduled repayments and buybacks.
