Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Last week, I received a report commissioned by former Educational Building Society, EBS, agents into the behaviour of that entity and Allied Irish Banks, AIB, management. The investigation into this matter was conducted by a former chief superintendent at the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The report alleges criminality. Those agents have a common denominator. They all followed the Central Bank code of conduct. The agents acted with honesty. They put their customers first. For their troubles, many of them had their service terminated on a no-fault basis. What action does the Taoiseach intend to take on receipt of that very important report, which alleges criminality at the heart of the banking sector? The matter must be investigated further. In that context, there must be a follow-up by the Minister for Justice and Equality. What does the Taoiseach have to say about the matter? I am sure he has heard of the report and that he has seen it.
