Seanad: Community Banking System: Statements (30 May 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It is not going to happen. Commercial banks in Ireland control our markets and our lives and they are predatory. The Minister has known for years that the post office network required investment and creative thinking, and the Government has failed. We have no State or community banks. AIB, Ulster Bank and Danske Bank will not become community banks, while Germany has 1,400 of them. If I...

Seanad: Community Banking System: Statements (30 May 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Everybody has forgotten what the State owes, what we are being paid back by these banks, what these banks did to everybody and the greed they inflicted on every household and person in Ireland. It is not the way to go. This is certainly not the way to go if it is not, at the same time, paralleled with piloting Sparkassen and-or Kiwibank.

Seanad: Community Banking System: Statements (30 May 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank the Acting Chairman, but I was the one who asked the Minister in. It is hard to get banks out once they are in. We should pilot those other community banking structures at the same time and give the people choice. I am angry about this. I do not like it and it will not go away.

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jun 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I wish to raise two matters. First, I congratulate the Department of Rural and Community Development and its Minister, Deputy Ring, on the brilliant Our Public Libraries 2022, which arrived on my desk this morning and which I have since had an opportunity to read. It is absolutely excellent on the Government's plans for the libraries all over Ireland, through local government, communities...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to request that the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and the Environment comes to the House to explain what is going on with the Sparkasse community bank because a report states that the Government has decided not to pursue that model. It affects every town and rural locale in Ireland. I will not take "No" for an answer. I want to...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2018)

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I also want to give two pieces of advice to the Government. The Cabinet needs to sit down and decide about homelessness in a co-ordinated and communicative way. Most of us do not know what is going on, where, how and on behalf of whom. The information is completely dissipated. I attended a packed conference this morning on positive aging in age-friendly cities and counties. The stories...
