Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Fáilte chuig an gcoiste. I have a couple of questions. Some of the issues I want to raise have already been touched on. I want to explore the supports and how long the Central Bank believes they will last. Looking at the economic letter that Mr. Hickey was part of drafting, page 3 states that the spending on temporary Covid supports, such as the EWSS, is likely to reduce in the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Given where we see we are, and we know where we are likely to be with the vaccines, the job in respect of this programme update and the first interactions regarding the budget is to try to project ahead. Does the Central Bank see that the latter end of this year would be the right time to start to phase out or indeed to stop some of these supports in their entirety? I take from Dr....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: No. That is okay.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: That is what I expected or interpreted from the letter. Dr. Cassidy points out, as I in fact pointed out to him, that there was, at the lower end, €5.4 billion of core, non-Covid-related expenditure in last year's budget and that could be in excess of €8 billion. He argues in his letter that that needs to be funded by sustainable financing through tax increases, yet we have a...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: What is the Central Bank's view on the idea that we could grow ourselves out of the situation we are in? We are talking about some permanent increases. Most of them - not the majority of them but the larger proportion of them - related to health and staff within our healthcare system, which many would argue we needed and should have made a long time ago. However, we also have the one-off...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Stability Programme Update: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Yes, and obviously there is a huge hunger for that type of capital expenditure in the State. There is no doubt about it. Therefore, my question to Dr. Cassidy is this: what level, in his view, of public capital expenditure could the State absorb? We have been here before, where there were capacity issues and so on, but we are in a new year and new dynamics, with high levels of unemployment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I thank the Chairman. I welcome Ms McDonagh to the committee. I will begin by talking about the huge amount of correspondence my colleagues and I have received from individuals who cannot draw down their mortgages as a result of having what are deemed "underlying conditions" and are, therefore, considered by insurance providers as being at higher risk of death as a result of Covid-19. Has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I have six minutes and I am sorry to interrupt Ms McDonagh but I need to get to the bottom of this issue. There are people, for example, who have diabetes and can no longer get mortgage protection cover from a range of insurance providers. New Ireland Assurance is a subsidiary of Bank of Ireland - indeed Ms McDonagh is the group CEO of that organisation. New Ireland Assurance has changed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Does Ms McDonagh acknowledge that the insurance company that she operates has changed its policy, does take this into account and does not grant mortgage protection insurance if a person has had a Covid symptom over the past three months? It is in black and white on the website. Underlying conditions are also being factored in. Those with conditions that were never factored in in the past,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I will move on from this issue, but I will draw Ms McDonagh's attention to her own group's website, which states that if an applicant has had a Covid symptom in the last three months, his or her application will not be processed for at least another month and it will be sent to the underwriters, who will consider the fact that he or she has had a symptom - not a positive test result, just a...
