<p>I refer the noble Lord to the most recent statutory report under section 2 of the
Loans to Ireland Act 2010, which was laid in Parliament on 15 October 2018. The report
shows that the outstanding principal is £3,226,960,000, with repayments due in tranches
from 15 April 2019 until 26 March 2021. Interest payments have been paid twice-yearly
since 15 December 2011 and payments received so far total £483,359,983.93. The government
expects the loan to be repaid on time and in full.</p><p> </p><p>[1] The statutory
