- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (9 Apr 2019) Gerry Horkan: I thank Mr. Masding and his team for attending and for his opening statement, which had a certain tone to it. He does not overly brag about the bank's performance and there is a level of humility or acknowledgement that there were problems, which the bank is tackling as well as it can. Mr. Masding acknowledged that the bank's staff, customers and everybody else have taken a hit. He stated:...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee

At this stage, he is the longest-serving chief executive of the five major banks. He is the only one who was in situat the start of this committee's reign and who remains. Long may that continue but my point was about how the comment was worded. The taxpayer is the taxpayer, but everybody is a taxpayer. When we speak about the taxpayer, we mean...

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (9 Apr 2019) Gerry Horkan: I do not think anyone else mentioned that the bank's share value for the current shareholders has fallen by approximately 45% in the past six months and 34% in the past year.

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (9 Apr 2019) Gerry Horkan: We get surveys of who is ahead in the supermarket wars where it is claimed that Dunnes Stores has this and Aldi has that. I am not comparing apples with apples, but where is PTSB positioned among the five main banks in terms of its size? The five main banks probably comprise 100% of the retail market.
