Written answers

Minister for Finance

As indicated in my response of 9th July last I can confirm that there were 24 safety deposit boxes in use when the Special Liquidators were appointed to IBRC. The Special Liquidators are currently reconciling the safety deposit boxes to determine ownership. The operation and maintenance of the remaining safety deposit boxes in IBRC are an operational matter for the Joint Special Liquidators of the bank and I do not have a role in the matter.
