As requested by the Deputy, the table below sets out the cumulative position in relation to the State’s investment in AIB and PTSB as at end-July.

On the 23rd June, I announced my intention to sell part of the State’s 13.9% shareholding in Bank of Ireland by way of a trading plan. At the same time, I confirmed that I was limited in the amount of detail I could disclose in relation to the plan as it would be detrimental to maximising value for the taxpayer. The number of shares sold, the average price achieved and the cash generated will be disclosed once the plan has been completed. Accordingly, the position in the table for BOI is at 22nd June, the day before the announcement was made.
