Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: State Banking Sector (20 Feb 2014)

Shane Ross: I thank the Minister for his response. He has been to Brussels looking for recapitalisation of the banks. Is this sale subject to the subsequent recapitalisation, or will it be done regardless? In other words, if the Minister goes to Europe and says that these banks need recapitalisation badly, or at least need to be compensated under the ESM, will they be sold as recapitalised banks or...

The Minister indicated in his reply that Bank of Ireland shares are currently priced at 33...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: State Banking Sector (20 Feb 2014)

Shane Ross: We are looking at March 2016, in other words. Is it not very dangerous to put the two pillar banks, as the Government calls them, out for sale to international predators at a time when we are encouraging, by our policy, a cartel situation? There is a real concern that although we have very few players in this market, the Government at least has some hold over the remaining banks which...

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Feb 2014)

Shane Ross: I am finishing. What I mean is this, that there should be an independent body which chooses these persons so that, constitutionally, we no longer see political appointments, which is the basic core problem of what is happening in the justice system.

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Feb 2014)

Shane Ross: I am alarmed by the pattern to which Deputy Wallace alluded. An unhealthy pattern is developing in this country. This morning, in words that are uncharacteristic for him, the Leader of the Opposition said that the system of justice in this country is rotten to the core. There is something sinister in the pattern that has developed in recent weeks. I am not referring solely to the "Prime...
