I believe the Deputy is referring to a speech delivered by the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland at the Institute for International and European Affairs (IIEA) on 29 June 2012 entitled — "More Europe" in the Financial Arena: Good for Ireland? The Central Bank has supplied me with the following breakdown of the allocation of banking losses/cost of capital injections that I understand the Governor referred to at the conference:

*€1.7bn of BoI's government preference shares were converted to equity in May/June 2010 (€1.8bn still left in existence). The government also received €0.5bn from the warrants relating to BoI's preference shares (excluded from table above).

**The IBRC amount is made up of a total capital contribution for Anglo / INBS of €30.6bn and a special investment share of €0.1bn (INBS). The Anglo / INBS capital contribution impacted in full on the GGB in 2010. The consideration for the Anglo / INBS capital contribution was €30.6bn of promissory notes. These Promissory Notes are an amount due from the State to IBRC. Each year, on 31 March, €3.06bn is paid by the Exchequer to Anglo / INBS as part of the scheduled repayments of the promissory notes. The first such repayment was made on 31 March 2010.

***The Exchequer cost of the 2011 BoI recap is shown net of share sale to private investors (Completed in October, 2011).

****€1.3bn of the €4bn used to recapitalise IL&P was invested through the acquisition by the Minister of Irish Life from IL&P. It is expected that the proceeds of an onward sale of Irish Life in due course will reduce the amount the State has committed to the bank recapitalisation.
