DBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS) has today published its “Master European Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Rating Methodology and Jurisdictional Addenda” (the Methodology) with updated addenda on Irish residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).

The Methodology presents the criteria on which Irish — and, where relevant, covered bonds ratings — are based.

The Methodology is effective as of 5 January 2015.

DBRS recently conducted a review of the Irish addenda and concluded no material changes were necessary and no rating actions will be taken on any related outstanding ratings. DBRS has not published a request for comment.

DBRS criteria and methodologies are publicly available on its website www.dbrs.com under Methodologies.
