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.

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
