Peter Mathews (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I recommend that the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank write to the chairmen and boards of directors of all financial institutions, and particularly the banks, and ask them to ensure that all directors, including non-executive directors, are competent and qualified on a continuing basis and dedicate sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities as directors of their banks and that each director confirm in writing to the Minister for Finance that this is the case.
