Anglo Irish Bank – related companies

This is a list of over 1,000 Anglo Irish Bank subsidiaries or related companies, with a path of minimum 25.01% of control – known shareholders. Most of the companies are British registered, and can be up to 9 times removed from the parent (ie – subsidiaries of subsidiaries of subsidiaries and so on). If you see duplicates it’s because there is a byztanine ownership structure. Listing doesn’t necessarily imply control, it may only mean that Anglo lent to the company in the past. And obviously, inclusion does not imply wrongdoing.

Department of Finance email volumes

Some time ago I sought information on certain emails between the Department of Finance and other organisations. The request was refused on volume grounds (I am appealing), but in the internal review the Department broke down email volumes for the period I requested, September 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. Here is the breakdown:

The email exchange to both Bank of Ireland and to the Department of the Taoiseach are particularly interesting. Why was Bank of Ireland more than twice Anglo? Interesting.

Reply to Anglo Irish

As mentioned previously, I am arguing that Anglo Irish Bank is a public authority for the purposes of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) (SI 133/2007). Here is my reply to Anglo’s submission:



Central Bank emergency lending soars to €44.67bn

A follow up from myself and Lorcan’s post last month on how much liquidity the Irish Central Bank is providing to Irish banks. November data has just been released and the figures are stark, a jump from €34bn in October to €44.67bn in November:

Of course that’s not the only story. Lending to euro area credit institutions rose as well, from €130bn to €136bn. As Lorcan points out on his blog:

Firstly, banks other than Anglo are now accessing this facility – Total loans from Anglo destined for NAMA were €20bn

Secondly, the ECB is NOT accepting NAMA promissory notes as collateral for repo operations. If it was, there would be no need for this facility from the Irish central bank. Presumably, the fact that NAMA is paying with promissory notes (basically an IOU) rather than government guaranteed bonds means they are not repo-able.

So, what does all this mean?

Well, the first broad point is that the amount of liquidity – both ECB and ‘exceptional’ – being provided to the Irish banking system has reached utterly unsustainable levels. At a combined total of €181.110bn, current ‘extend and pretend’ policies must be close to their limit.

In case you missed it

I have an econo-crush on Simon Johnson, I think. Honestly, I giggle whenever anyone mentions his name.

I joke, I joke. Still, this one is well worth a read. I’m not going to bother quoting any specific section, it’s all relevent.

A fair few of the comments refer to Ireland.

Also, close watchers of The Digest – see right hand column of this website – will have already read “The clear correlation between crisis and corruption” by Sigrún Davíðsdóttir. Davíðsdóttir is the London correspondent for RUV (Icelandic national television) and has been spending some time in Dublin of late.

You may also have picked up on “Assange accuser worked with US-funded, CIA-tied anti-Castro group“.

“Must not Sleep, Must warn Others”

Anglo Irish Bank – a public authority?

Readers may recall that at the start of this year we submitted two Environmental Information Regulations requests (EIRs, not FOIs). One was sent to the National Asset Management Agency and the other was sent to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited – the nationalised bank. Both organisations replied by saying that they did not consider themselves to be public authorities for the purposes of the Regulations.

I have already blogged extensively about our argument with NAMA, that we believe it is clearly a public authority for the purposes of the Regulations. For a chronological look through that argument try these links

NAMA denies status as a public authority April 21, 2010
NAMA submission April 22, 2010
NAMA status June 30, 2010
Is NAMA a public authority July 27, 2010
NAMA reply August 1, 2010
The NAMA saga continues September 27, 2010

We are now awaiting a binding decision by the Office of the Commissioner for Environmental Information in relation to NAMA’s status as a public authority for the purposes of the Regulations.

Events have also now moved forward in relation to Anglo Irish Bank. In February this year I started the process by seeking information from Anglo in relation to its loan book, and to the travel expenses of its executives. Anglo denied it was a public authority and I appealed the decision to the OCEI. I have now received a copy of Anglo Irish Bank’s submission to the OCEI giving its legal argument as to why it believes it is not a public authority.

However, Anglo has sought to exert confidentiality over its 16-page legal submission (a copy of which I and the OCEI have), stating that the submission contains:

details of the management of the bank, its relationship with the Minister for Finance and the relationship framework established under the Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act 2009 constitute confidential management information which should not be disclosed further than is necessary for the purposes of dealing with the appeal to the Commissioner

The OCEI have stated that they have not formed a view on the status of the information contained in the submission. However with the help of a very dedicated individual we have now drafted and completed our reply to Anglo’s submission. We will be publishing our submission shortly. We are unsure as to the status of Anglo’s submission in legal terms – but will seek advice from OCEI about whether we have a legitimate right to publish their submission.

Wikileaks and Ireland

I had a brief chat with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange earlier this summer in London, just prior to the Afghanistan war logs being released. He is an interesting character. Not many leaks from the latest release so far have related to Ireland, but here are the three we have found, of over 900 to come:

So what infrastructure in Ireland does the US have an interest in?

Ireland: Hibernia Atlantic undersea cable landing, Dublin Ireland
Genzyme Ireland Ltd. (filling), Waterford, Ireland: Thymoglobulin

Not many things then.

Meanwhile in another cable released last week, it was stated

2. (C) XXXXXXXXXXXX met recently with XXXXXXXXXXXX, who sought UNHCR support in facilitating the movement out of Afghanistan of Brahmdagh Bugti, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti’s grandson and head of the Baloch Republican Party. XXXXXXXXXXXX reportedly told XXXXXXXXXXXX that the Government of Ireland was willing to receive Brahmdagh Bugti, who “had to get out of Afghanistan and would not be safe returning to Pakistan.” XXXXXXXXXXXX also contended that the USG would be supportive of this transfer. (Note: XXXXXXXXXXXX has met with Embassy poloffs several times to float the idea of moving Bugti, sharing with us that Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister is willing to help Bugti gain asylum there. End Note.)

The other Irish related cable to troops transiting through Shannon.
