Written answers

The Deputy will be aware that the asset transfer to AIB's pension scheme was directly linked to the bank's Early Retirement and Voluntary Severance Programme and was essential for the bank to be able to fund these plans. All relevant disclosures in relation to AIB's deleveraging process are made as part of AIB's 2012 Annual Accounts published on 27th March 2013.
