Financial Stability Development in Ireland and Elsewhere: Statements (16 Nov 2010)

Arthur Morgan: Some €50 billion has already gone into recapitalisation, plus in the order of €100 billion from the ECB. The latter constitutes one fifth of the ECB's total investment in banks across Europe. Does the Taoiseach believe we can continue to fill the black hole that is the Irish banking system?

Financial Stability Development in Ireland and Elsewhere: Statements (16 Nov 2010)

Arthur Morgan: What is the Government going to do? Will it start pouring the funds in the National Pensions Reserve Fund, NPRF, into the banks? If not, it will need to return to the markets.

Take my word on this - the markets would enjoy a level of openness and honesty from the Government, as would the House. In...

Bank Guarantee Scheme: Motion (17 Nov 2010)

Arthur Morgan: At outset I should make a confession to the House. I find the Minister of State, Deputy Mansergh, an interesting person.

Irish Banking: Statements (18 Nov 2010)

Arthur Morgan: There is a proposal to construct a casino in County Tipperary, but I do not know if it is necessary because the biggest casino in the world is next door in Government Buildings.
