Wallace, executive director. Funding will come from terminating Bank of Ireland, which ran $145 million in international large-cap core equities, Mr. Wallace said. The leftover money will be used for rebalancing, he said.

Bank of Ireland rebid. Asset Consulting Group assisted. The plan's overall asset allocation is 65% equity and 35% fixed income and alternatives.
