I wish the Minister well and she has an opportunity to set out, in a defining moment, precisely what her incumbency as Minister for Education and Skills will be about....
- Insurance Industry. (31 Mar 2010)
Kieran O'Donnell: I refer to the employees and the policyholders. It appears there are eight subsidiaries of Quinn Insurance involved in providing guarantees for facilities. Will the Minister elaborate on exactly what form these facilities took? Were they in the form of bank loans or otherwise? Normal practice would dictate that if they were in respect of banks, bank letters would be sent to the bank every...

The bank will receive â¬22 billion in recapitalisation and it will account for 70% of the â¬32 billion set aside for recapitalisation of the banks. Senior bondholders are...

- Banking System: Motion (30 Mar 2010)
Kieran O'Donnell: We have no idea how much NAMA will make. We all want a banking system that works. Allied Irish Banks and Bank of Ireland have been given time. Their losses to date have not been crystallised. If the Government wants private investors to put money into these banks, it should have outlined earlier their losses to date and how they will come up with funding. However, we will not know that...
