Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Business of Joint Committee
General Scheme of Sale of Loan Books to Unregulated Third Parties Bill 2014: Discussion (3 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Hogan for his comprehensive overview of the legislation. We are all aware of the concerns expressed by borrowers at the time that some of the institutions decided to divest themselves of their loan books.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Business of Joint Committee
General Scheme of Sale of Loan Books to Unregulated Third Parties Bill 2014: Discussion (3 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: The purchaser of the loan has taken a decision either to change the terms and-or to do so in a way that is not in the best interests of the consumer and is acting outside what the guidelines permit.

Petrol stretching is different from other fraudulent activities because it has two victims. In the...

Water Services Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this important debate. There is little doubt unfortunately that Irish Water and the provision of water services have been unnecessarily in the headlines over the past 12 months and in the past number of months in particular.
