- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Bank of Ireland (10 Apr 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I noticed that the bank called in receivers for some home loans, which is unusual. I have not seen that happen with the other institutions. I have seen receivers called in for buy-to-lets. How many civil proceedings does the bank have under way, outside of what is measured here in terms of the courts? There is an issue at the moment with regard to positive equity. I call it the paradox...

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I direct this question to Mr. Kerr and probably to Mr. Poole. Has all that has happened in terms of the damage that has been done to the charities sector, much of which is related to people not coming forward to deal with the issues at hand, impacted on the fund-raising activities of the Rehab Group?

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Did the board see it as being in any way necessary with regard to the difficulties arising in terms of the public view? The Rehab Group has fantastic workers. It provides a fantastic service on the ground. In such cases, it often involves one or two people, and that is what has happened here, who probably have done great work over the years. Did the board not feel it necessary to bring in...

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of what has happened, in that it is contradictory, how does Mr. Kerr believe the board did not act to exercise "strict and appropriate oversight of certain issues"? How does that relate to the statement he just made?
