Majority State-owned bank addresses debt write-down for Kilkenny hurling star in circular to staff

However, the report did not take account of the sale of golf resort properties securing the debt at the K Club in Co Kildare and at Mount Juliet in Co Kilkenny in the years after the 2011 judgment and how the sale proceeds went towards the reduction of Mr Carey’s debt to the bank.

In the wake of the report on Mr Carey’s write-down, Government ministers and opposition politicians called for AIB to appear before the Oireachtas finance committee to answer questions on the bank’s debt agreement with the hurling star. “In situations where the legal system is ultimately required to resolve cases, we may seek judgment to allow us dispose of the secured assets and wider assets if appropriate, he said.

Mr O’Keeffe told staff in the circular sent to thousands of AIB staff on Tuesday that the bank may also “take account of third party certification as to a borrower’s income and asset status and may also consider other documentation relating to the borrower’s personal circumstances”.

AIB urged to explain 99 per cent debt write-down for DJ CareyMinisters and Opposition call on majority State-owned bank to be questioned on ‘jaw-dropping settlement’ “High Court judgment for the €9.5 million on May 9th, 2011, most of which arose from a €7.85 million loan to Mr Carey relating to properties in Mount Juliet in Co Kilkenny and the K Club in Co Kildare.” 99% write down and still went scrounging for money off every contact in his phone. Allegedly. Carey is merely exploiting the rules based (not law based) control mechanism that AIB operates (on a sliding scale of veracity). It's not Carey or AIB, but the financial system that allows this governance which has brought us to a situation where no graduate can afford a home.
