- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Sale of IBRC Mortgage Loan Book: Discussion (26 Feb 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Sale of IBRC Mortgage Loan Book: Discussion (26 Feb 2014)

- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2014)
Stephen Donnelly: On Tuesday, we heard from the special liquidator of IBRC that it had secured the agreement of the bidders for the Irish Nationwide mortgages that they would voluntarily adhere to the code of conduct on mortgage arrears, CCMA. Yesterday, the special liquidator appeared before the finance committee. We heard of this voluntary agreement and that there would be no Central Bank oversight,...
- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2014)
Stephen Donnelly: I can only assume that the Tánaiste picked up the wrong piece of paper to read. I did not ask him about legislation on the CCMA. I asked him whether we could pause the sales process to figure out whether another could be devised in which families would be allowed to bid on their own mortgages while returning the same or greater value to the liquidator. I will provide a quick example...
- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2014)
Stephen Donnelly: -----can the Tánaiste please examine whether the sales process can be paused so we can at least try to figure out a process that allows these people to stay in their homes while still returning the same amount, or more, to the liquidator?

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2014)
Stephen Donnelly: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, line 25, to delete “€64,368” and substitute “€57,931.20”.I raised the matter to which these amendments relate on Second Stage. I hope the Minister will be able to support what I am seeking to do. I am moving in the same direction as he is in respect of this issue. He has expressed sentiments to the effect that he...
- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2014)

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2014)

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2014)
Stephen Donnelly: I agree wholeheartedly with Deputy Lucinda Creighton. Before I ran for election, I knew very little or nothing about this Parliament. I was talking to a man who had been around the Dáil for years, although not in an elected capacity, and he assured me that irrespective of how bad, dysfunctional or cynical I believed Dáil Éireann was, it was much worse. The stance the...
