Paul Coghlan: I am sure the Leader is concerned about the all too frequent overcharging by banks. I am glad the Financial Regulator has said it is urgently reviewing how to strengthen enforcement against the banks. Every few months we learn of incidents of overcharging. This could be combined with a debate requested by Senator Fitzgerald and others regarding NAMA, as we are entitled to hear the...

Paul Coghlan: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by my colleague, Senator Fitzgerald. As she said, it is a sad day for the country, especially the workforce, given the increase in the number of people being thrown onto the dole. It is sad to see a further 750 bank staff facing that immediate prospect when we need consolidation in banking. That was promised by the Government but it...

Paul Coghlan: This is where the banks need to improve for the sake of the economy and their own business performance. They will not have the scope to lend for property in the future. They have to get back to serving their loyal small business customers that they are starving of necessary working capital to keep their businesses going and their staff employed. Those are the people who need our support...

Paul Coghlan: Perhaps it is fortunate that the Deputy Leader is taking the Order of Business because he may be qualified to tell us about the proposed mayor for Dublin. We understand the heads of a Bill were agreed but we will not know the details until the legislation is published. I ask the Deputy Leader to outline for the House what he thinks the Bill will contain regarding the powers of the proposed...

Paul Coghlan: I hope the Tánaiste's meeting with Ryanair will secure 300 aircraft maintenance jobs at Dublin Airport and, I hope also, without Michael O'Leary pulling the wool over her eyes. Will the Tánaiste also do something constructive about the serious concerns of Irish suppliers who are being asked for six figure sums to have their goods stocked on the shelves of multiples which are dominating the...

Paul Coghlan: As our banks stumble from one crisis to another the Government has become totally silent on the need for restructuring, which was touched on a year ago when we had a debate following the bank guarantee scheme and the need for recapitalisation. We understand the current position regarding the recapitalisation process. However, at that time the Government discussed restructuring, which it...
