I propose to take Questions Nos. 87 and 95 together.
As alluded to by the Deputy in his questions, a review of remuneration policies and practices by each of the covered institutions is underway. As part of that review, the institutions were asked to consider measures that could be taken to realign staff expectations with regard to remuneration and benefits in the current economic environment and financial circumstances of the banks. An analysis of severance arrangements is also part of the review.
The review exercise is ongoing. I fully recognise that there is a real public interest in the levels of remuneration at the covered institutions and I will endeavour to have this completed in the shortest timeframe possible with a view to putting the information into the public domain.
