Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Enormous reputational damage has been caused to the country, especially the internationally traded financial services sector. What has happened over the past number of years has come at a significant cost. One of the sentences that hopped off the page when I read the report was about sunlight acting as a disinfectant against malpractice. To be honest, I have not seen much sunlight here....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The reason I brought that up is because a question was asked about the identity of the individuals involved in this malpractice. Those names are not known.

We do not know the influence they have or whether they work for the State or other banks. We,...

Banking Sector: Statements (3 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: There is a banking crisis unfolding before our eyes in real time in this country. It is one for which the Minister, his party and the Government are in large part responsible. I have listened as, one by one and with furrowed brows, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Deputies rose to their feet in this Chamber and fretted about the closure of banks in their constituencies. Each was careful to...

Reopening Schools and Leaving Certificate Examinations: Statements (3 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The management of this crisis has been enormously difficult for the Minister, the Department and teachers and parents around the country. It is probably one of the biggest impacts that has been experienced by many people. I have no doubt the cost of the closure of schools will continue for years to come as a result of the lack of education and socialisation and due to the mental health...

An Ghaeilge agus An Ghaeltacht: Ráitis (3 Mar 2021)
