Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (17 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: As I have said consistently, there is some merit in the Bill and it contains elements which are important and which we support. On that basis, we are better having the legislation on the Statute Book than not. However, some issues should have been incorporated during the debate and we may return to those issues through further legislation, maybe from our side of the House. The issues are...

Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (17 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: The Minister’s answer confirms my original allegation that we are rewarding banks for being lazy. The Minister said it would be difficult to disaggregate loans as they are sold as a bundle. Let us put a bit of difficulty on the banks. They are paid well enough and they should be able to do a difficult job. If the essence of what the Department of Finance says is that it would not...

Essentially, we wish...

Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (17 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: I understand the Minister's point about the impact of what is proposed in a situation where a credit agreement is not in financial difficulty but is restructured for business development purposes. However, the point I made was related specifically to the original loan agreement. I am aware that it is not possible to vary a loan agreement without agreement. Often, despite the fact that...

Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (17 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: I move amendment No. 2:In page 4, line 18, after “restructuring” to insert “where the credit agreement is in financial difficulty”.We had a discussion on this and several other amendments tabled by Fianna Fáil on Committee Stage. There is merit in the Bill in so far as it goes and nobody disagrees with the contents of the Bill. The main thrust of our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Minister for Finance (16 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: I welcome the Minister. I will ask the most obvious question about his proposed meeting. I am sure that everyone who listened to his speech was struck by the elephant in the room that he chose not to mention. Why was there no mention of the Greek situation? If the Eurogroup of finance Ministers believe that the impact of an unsatisfactory end to Greece's economic adjustment programme at...
