The Irish Central Bank have taken the unusual step of releasing data which purports to show the level of senior and subordinated debt within the different financial institutions in Ireland. The Central Bank says it is giving out this 'sensitive data' on a once-off basis, in the interests of providing public information.
This is a strange move, just days after an election, and it may hint at some type of Government-Banking collusion to massage the direction that this debt will take in the immediate term. Or this may just be an attempt to get this information out there, whilst much of the media and public's attention is currently directed elsewhere, namely at the ongoing negotiations for a new government.
Media outlets are reporting that there is no chance of any default happening on this debt, but that again is a strange stance, considering those who will make such a decision, are currently negotiating a program for government right now, and are in no position to make such decisions at this point.
Here is the data which was released, all figures are in millions:
