- Order of Business (17 Oct 2007)
Joan Burton: I welcome the fact that the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has had the humility to admit his Department got the sums wrong and that it has to rejig the Estimates. I would welcome the same humility on the part of the Minister for Health and Children in regard to what is happening in the Health Service Executive where clearly there is a mess in regard to the budget....

- Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Motion to Instruct Committee (17 Oct 2007)
Joan Burton: During the debate on Second Stage on 2 October I repeated a question I put to the Minister last year, namely, whether he proposed to introduce regulation of banks and financial institutions which do not take deposits but choose instead to concentrate on lending. Last year, he vigorously defended his decision to exclude these institutions from the regulatory framework. I welcome his change...
- Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)
Joan Burton: I move amendmentNo. 1: In page 3, subsection (1)(a), to delete line 29. This is a technical amendment which will delete the reference to "an Act". Irish investment services law is defined as measures specified or enacted by an Act or any other enactment. This seems circular and repetitious so why not just say "an Act or any statute or enactment". This is the case in section 3, subsection...
- Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)
Joan Burton: I move amendmentNo. 2: In page 5, subsection (4)(a), line 8, after "offence," to insert the following: "in particular any penalty provided by regulation 188 of the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 60 of 2007),". This area of the Bill provides for a â¬10 million fine for failing to retain records and other offences, some of which could be...

Joan Burton: I do not know if the Minister ever had the opportunity in his spare time to watch the film "Wall Street" or read the book Bonfire of the Vanities. If he did, he would know that â¬10 million is nothing to these people. In an operation where losses are being piled up, as in the Ormond Quay investment vehicle, this is just a pittance. There is no evidence so far that the Irish Financial...

- Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)
Joan Burton: I move amendmentNo. 3: In page 5, line 13, after "1942" to insert the following: "(inserted by section 26 of the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Act 2003)". This is a drafting amendment to correct an inconsistency in drafting between this section and section 11. Section 11 refers to a 1995 Act, as amended in 1998. It is also inconsistent with the drafting of section...

Joan Burton: I am glad the Minister has given us his view of the general financial crisis because this is the first opportunity we have had to hear him talk about it. We started by praising his decision to introduce the late amendment to include certain products such as reversionary products in the legislation. I repeatedly raised sub-prime lending with him a year ago and he said the same as he is...
