I propose to take Questions Nos. 156 to 159, inclusive, together.
Loan-Originating Qualifying Investor Alternative Investment Funds (L-QIAIFs) refer to a category of investment fund authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI). Investment in such funds is restricted to qualified investors and the manager is authorised by the CBI in accordance with the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). The fund is also subject to the CBI's Alternative Investment Fund Rulebook.
The CBI is the competent authority for Loan-Origination Qualified Alternative Investment Funds (L-QIAFs) in Ireland and has supplied information below.
In relation to Questions Nos. 158 and 159, 31523/19 and 31524/19, the CBI has supplied the following tabular information:

In relation to Questions Nos. 158 and 159, reference Nos. 31525/19 and 31526/19, respectively, relating to lending activities of L-QIAIFs, the CBI has informed my officials that as of March 2019 56% of loan or loan participating instruments in L-QIAIFs are Irish-based. The CBI has also informed my officials that the CBI does not collect information on the L-QIAIF authorised by it in a manner that would enable a breakdown of such funds lending in the property and real estate sector or the amount of lending such funds undertake in Ireland or to which sectors.
