Shareholders Address Irish Life Recapitalisation
Irish Life and Permanent shareholders have met this morning to address a recapitalisation plan for the bank.
Shareholders are to consider accepting a government cash injection worth €3.8bn, which would mean the government owning 99%.
Irish Life and Permanent consist of the Permanent TSB bank and Irish Life - a life assurance company.
The bank provided a substantial amount of mortgages during the height of the housing boom.
To cushion against bad loans, the Central Bank now require the company to raise €4bn.
