Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2012
179. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide the latest estimate of the dates by which the National Asset Management Agency and the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation will be wound up. [56867/12]
View answerIBRC is working in accordance with a plan which has been approved by the EU for the work out of the organisation by 2020. It is important in this context to be clear the interim accounts produced by the bank refer to “winding up of the loan book in an orderly manner by 2020” as opposed to a winding up of the bank. This difference is important for technical reasons and also to provide options as to how the overall cost of the bank can be settled in an appropriate timeframe. I can confirm that, under current arrangements, the scheduled payments on the Promissory Notes are due to continue until 2031. I note that the NAMA Board has indicated that it expects to have completed its work by 2020.
