Bank of Ireland Group Plc reported a 5% rise in first half pretax profit and said it would pay an interim dividend for the first time since the Irish banking crash in 2008.

It will return €352 million ($382 million) to shareholders, the equivalent of 40% of first half profit after tax, the bank said in a statement Wednesday.
