In relation to the increase at Permanent TSB, management has confirmed that this arose following downsizing at the bank in 2012 to facilitate the building of a new Target Operating Model. As part of rebuilding the bank's capability, new roles were created and filled in 2013 and 2014. This included creation of the Asset Management Unit, a move into SME lending and an expansion of existing areas such as Product Management.
