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.

“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“The man nearest my soul,
Who like a brother toiled in my affairs,
And laid his love and life under my foot.”
