Written answers

Minister for Finance

The table outlines previous meetings that have taken place with each CEO or Chairperson of the State supported banks and I am also scheduled to meet the boards of the three banks again tomorrow, 19 July 2013. A variety of issues were discussed at these meetings and it would be inappropriate for me to detail the specifics.

Officials from my Department also meet with representatives of the various banks on a regular basis – including a monthly senior management meeting with each Covered Institution at which the CEO would usually attend.
