- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Bi-annual Review 2013: Financial Services Ombudsman (5 Mar 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: That comes as a surprise to me. I shall move on to the two areas that stand out. Clearly, they are the mortgage arrears which make up 50% of all banking complaints and the sale of payment protection which makes up 45% to 50% of all insurance complaints. It is clear from the complaints that AIB had 24 complaints published, where they had three or more for the period 1 September to the end...

- Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (Resumed) (13 Mar 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Like other speakers, I believe the progress made to date by the Government is significant.

Generally, therefore, progress is reasonable. I wish to talk about challenges at national level and those that arise for...

Kieran O'Donnell: I agree with Deputy Ross on the Towers Watson report.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Mar 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: The response we received from Rehab is incomplete and does not deal with many of the points. The level of public funds being spent is €83 million. RehabCare and the National Learning Network are its two main companies which function in Ireland and they receive almost 95% of their funding from the State. The public is entitled to know the precise details from Rehab and all interested...
