Mr Haughey's debts to AIB were discharged in line with proposals set out by the bank's deputy chief executive in a letter to Mr Haughey dated January 24th, 1980. Under the proposals, Mr Haughey was to bring his debit balance down from £860,000.17 to £110,000 by mid-February 1980, and to pay off the £110,000 within a reasonable period of time. The letter acknowledges receipt of a lodgement of £600,000, and subsequent letters detail payments of £100,000 and £50,000 respectively to AIB.
It was not disclosed at the tribunal proceedings yesterday whether Mr Haughey paid off the final £110,000.
