Irish Life And Permanent
Irish Life and Permanent, Plc (ISE: ILB, LSE: IPM) (Irish: Cuideachta Bheatha na hÉireann) or IL&P is a provider of personal financial services in Ireland. IL&P enjoys limited liability.
The Group has over one million customers in Ireland. The chief executive of Irish Life & Permanent is Kevin Murphy, who succeeded Denis Casey in that capacity in May 2009. In March 2011 during the Irish banking crisis the bank was said to be in need of an external €4.0 billion bailout. This view is disputed by shareholders.
In February 2011 SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB) acquired Irish Life International Ltd (ILI), so it now operates under the corporate name SEB Life International Assurance Company Limited.
IL&P holds a minority interest in Allianz, the third largest general insurer (i.e. non-life assurance) in the Irish market.

Famous quotes containing the words irish, life and/or permanent:
“The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“The married are those who have taken the terrible risk of intimacy and, having taken it, know life without intimacy to be impossible.”
—Carolyn Heilbrun (b. 1926)
“... the most important effect of the suffrage is psychological. The permanent consciousness of power for effective action, the knowledge that their own thoughts have an equal chance with those of any other person ... this is what has always rendered the men of a free state so energetic, so acutely intelligent, so powerful.”
—Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)
