Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

The Company referred to in the Question did not advise my Department. As was previously advised, the company was retained by IBRC in December 2011 to advise on a range of strategic matters including, but not limited to, the structure of the bank's balance sheet, including the Promissory Note.
