Pearse Doherty

Question:

140. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance further to a newspaper report that the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation requested a borrower to withdraw a complaint by the borrower against a company (details supplied) the reason IBRC would specifically or in general adopt such an approach to one of its borrowers. [55390/12]

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

I have been informed that it should be noted that the newspaper article in question published details of privileged information and the Bank has not waived the privilege attaching to that information. These matters are the subject of on-going litigation and it is not appropriate for the Minister to make any comment.
