Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)

Richard Bruton: There is the potential for significant savings of public money if this can be developed into a shared service that yields returns. Has the Minister considered the potential for better treasury management in individual bodies due to use of the NTMA? If this generates savings, would it be reflected in terms of a reduction in the number of bureaucrats involved in treasury management and an...

Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)

Richard Bruton: I welcome these amendments. The credit union movement has been unique in offering loans to people at affordable rates. They assist many people who would not normally be banking in the general run of things. When we are debating credit unions it is important to raise some of the other issues that arise.

Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)

Richard Bruton: I have no objection to the amendment. Is the Tánaiste removing the requirement of an insurance licence or is he making changes to accommodate the described anomalies, such as the person returning who is unable to continue with a savings product? I presume there is still a requirement that the insurance company must be licensed somewhere.

Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)

Richard Bruton: This is the core of the Tánaiste's new elements and warrants study. Regarding the issue of being engaged in retail lending, would hedge funds be regulated? Generally, they would purchase financial instruments that would not be deemed retail.

Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2007: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2007)

Richard Bruton: I presume the Tánaiste's argument is that he is awaiting European legislation before regulating people who deal in securitised instruments of one sort or another that may be subject to questionable ratings. Should people running hedge funds be authorised under some of the proposed elements, namely, probity, competence and adequate levels of experience and skill? While the products might...
