	<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p pid="325.1">It is not enough.  I agree with the Deputy.</p><p pid="325.2">I refer to Mr. Eddie Sullivan, the former Secretary General of the Department of Finance, who was Secretary General of the Department of Social and Family Affairs during my time on the Committee of Public Accounts. He did a marvellous job there.  In great part, the way in which Deputy Morgan and I receive answers from the Department of Social and Family Affairs, the way its computers are set up and the efficiency and effectiveness of that Department reflect what Mr. Sullivan did while he worked there.</p><p pid="325.3">I have great respect for Mr. Sullivan and I expect his report in a few weeksâ€™ time will put levels on executive remuneration comparable to what President Obama has done in the United States.  We are concerned here not only about Bank of Ireland and Allied Irish Banks but about Anglo Irish Bank, Irish Nationwide Building Society, Educational Building Society and Irish Life& Permanent.  All six of those institutions are subject to the guarantee and will be taken into account in the report.</p><p pid="325.4">More than anything, from this recapitalisation we want confidence brought back into the life of business.  We want to see people getting finance to buy cars, mortgages being given out such that the construction industry can get a lift and employment, which is suffering so much, increasing by a quantum step.  Whatever agreement is reached on how the banks deal with business people and consumers, I want to see it take fully into account the idea of increasing employment.  In a recent speech, the Taoiseach, Deputy Cowen, said he was concerned about, as he put it, â€śjobs, jobs, jobsâ€ť.  I want the Minister for Finance to tell the banks that as well as getting a good, strong, stable banking system of international repute from the recapitalisation, we want to get â€śjobs, jobs, jobsâ€ť.</p>]]></content:encoded>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p pid="323.1">In addition, in five yearsâ€™ time we will have an option to take up 25% of the ordinary share capital of that bank.  I presume the idea is that the Government will take up ownership when the economy is in a position for that 25% to go to market.  It can then be sold, with the proceeds coming to the Government.  That option will be taken up at the current share price, whatever it may be, at the date of the recapitalisation.  Making an investment in a bank is very different from expending money.  In the former case we expect a return that will be of benefit to the people into the future.</p><p pid="323.2">Bank salaries feature regularly in discussions.  All Deputies have had e-mails over the past while, especially from people in the public service sector.  I received over 60 e-mails addressed, variously, to â€śDeputiesâ€ť, to my constituency and personally.  I have also received e-mails that were addressed to every Member of DĂˇil Ă‰ireann.  These are innumerable.  I do not know how many of those there are.  I replied specifically to the 60 and read the ones addressed to me personally.  In almost every one the writer asks why the public service must take the cut while the bankers who caused the problem do not.   In the recapitalisation programme we note that  bankers are now in the first phase of the first cut, as far as mega-salaries are concerned.  The total remuneration for all senior executives will be reduced by at least a third, no performance bonuses will be paid for senior executives and no salary increases will be made in respect of 2008-09.  Non-executive directorsâ€™ salaries are to come down immediately, by 25%.</p>]]></content:encoded>
