Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (29 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: The following issue may not directly affect the Bank of Ireland but the witnesses may be able to shed some light on the regulation from the Central Bank. Allegations have been made that banks have sold loans to third parties for far less than what the debtor was originally happy to agree in an arrangement with the bank. The logic is that the debtor - the householder or businessperson -...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (29 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: My final comments go back to the residual debt question that has been asked previously. It is quite shocking that Bank of Ireland is chasing residual debt, potentially, from a homeless person. Is there a cut-off period? For example, if I surrendered my home and there was residual debt of €100,000, would Bank of Ireland after seven years come to an understanding that there is no...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (30 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: What we are seeing, yet again, is a hands-off Government when it comes to dealing with the banks. This State is reeling from a once-in-a-century economic catastrophe. That catastrophe was in large part precipitated by the Fianna Fáil golden circle and Anglo Irish Bank. In 2011, people right across the State voted to smash that golden circle and close the door forever on Anglo Irish...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (30 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: Despite reams of questions from Opposition Deputies, including my colleague, Deputy Pearse Doherty, regarding the IBRC transactions, the Minister, "hands-off Noonan", refused to reveal very serious concerns expressed by his own officials about the series of IBRC transactions. Vital information was withheld from the Dáil. This Dáil was misled on the IBRC scandal and, to add insult...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (30 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: Again I ask the Minister will he now put an end to this cover-up by declaring that the Government will set aside a farcical and fatally compromised review and initiate simply an independent inquiry, carried out by a competent authority, as demanded by his party leader last week? I will ask the Minister one further question and I want him to listen to it because it is an important one....

Peadar Tóibín: Will the Minister inform the Dáil if members of the Cabinet are aware of any individual who was a shareholder of Siteserv who would have had access to IBRC information around the sale of Siteserv and who would have information around the Irish Water-Siteserv tender? I remind the Minister of the importance of this information and the damage done by the closed culture of the Minister for...

Order of Business (30 Apr 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: Low pay and underemployment are entrenched in the economy. Currently 50% of workers are earning less than €25,000 a year. Internationally Ireland is becoming an outlier with regard to the level of low pay. At the heart of this is the imbalance between the relationship of the employer and employee. For a long time the Government has promised to rebalance this and has promised...
