Deputy Joan Burton (Labour) has been kind enough to share more of her Freedom of Information requests relating to Anglo Irish Bank. I have scanned and OCRd these documents for easy searching. If any other TDs wish to share their requests, please contact us.
Burton 1 (Ireland notification to EC)
Burton Anglo 2
Burton Anglo 3 (Result of appeal for internal review)
Anglo 3 is interesting. It contains an email to the Financial Regulator Patrick Neary on October 11, 2008:
Min v anxious that we have the pwc work on anglo asap so that we understand their book in detail – sees them as most likely source of trouble, esp given share price movements during the wk
It also contains this email from John Paul Coleman at Anglo, dated January 20, 2009:
Marie,
As discussed as at the 30th September 2008 (last published accounts) the Bank had €2.835 billion of perpetual bonds not guaranteed under the scheme.
This includes the Banks GBP300million preference shares (€371 million at 30th September).Attached is the note which will be in the Banks annual accounts showing this for September. The note has both dated and undated but I have highlighted the undated (perpetual) bonds.
Any additional information needed please let me know.
Regards,
John-Paul
