I understand that the Deputy is referring to the repayments so far this year of unguaranteed unsecured senior bond holders in Anglo Irish Bank. I am advised by the bank that €1.06 billion of unsecured unguaranteed senior debt in Anglo Irish Bank has matured and been repaid so far this year.
I have indicated to the House that, consistent with Government policy, I will raise the issue of burden sharing which will allow for the imposition of losses on unguaranteed and unsecured senior bondholders in Anglo and INBS with the IMF and EU authorities in the autumn. I have also indicated that we will take no unilateral action in this area.

The State has committed to completing the recapitalisations to the extent possible by 31 July as part of the Programme of Financial Support for Ireland.
The total recapitalisation commitments made or to be made in respect of the banks are set out in the following table.

The Government is committed to ensuring that the banks meet the PCAR target, but is also seeking further direct contributions to the capital requirements of the banking system. As such, the Government has instigated processes which have reduced and will further reduce the cost to the State by looking for significant contributions from subordinated debt holders, by the sale of assets to generate capital and, where possible, by seeking private sector investors. It is expected that the effect of these actions will be to reduce the amount of capital required by the State very significantly.
