For reasons of confidentiality, the Central Bank of Ireland does not disclose information on individual banks. However, the Central Bank is in a position to disclose aggregate level information, and has provided the information in the following table. This outlines the 2017 year-end position for Loan to Value (LTV) and Loan to Income (LTI) by Private Dwelling Home (PDH) and Buy to Let (BTL) for First Time Buyers (FTB) and Second time and Subsequent Buyers (SSB). The total value of 2017 residential mortgages in-scope of regulations was €6.9 billion, of which €6.7 billion was PDH lending, and for BTL was €0.2 billion. The table below shows the level of lending which was over the various LTV and LTI limits as set out in the macroprudential rules.

Where a regulated financial service provider advances €50 million or more in residential housing loans over a six monthly period it will be required to submit data via data monitoring templates on a six monthly basis or any other period that the Central Bank may specify in writing. Compliance with the measures will be determined on an annual basis.
