Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 74:

In page 101, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:

“Report on Banking Levy

81. The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the banking levy and, in particular, the effective rate of the levy relative to the net interest income and operating profits of in-scope credit institutions in each of the years since its introduction, and the effective rate of equivalent levies in EU Member States relative to the same base. Additionally make reference to the government’s decision to ignore senior legal advice on ensuring banks contributed to the defective concrete block scheme.”.
