Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Child and Family Agency: Discussion with Chairman Designate (23 Jul 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank the witnesses for coming in today. It is unusual that the purpose of today's meeting is to scrutinise this appointment because we absolutely lucked out when we got somebody of the quality of Ms Gibbons.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with AIB (3 Sep 2013)

Regina Doherty: I thank our guests for attending. What Mr. Duffy just outlined in the context of the process AIB is undergoing sounded both wonderful and caring. It would, however, be remiss not to point out that it does not reflect what is happening in practice, particularly in light of the evidence presented to me by my constituents. The picture painted by those constituents is very different from that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Permanent TSB (5 Sep 2013)

Regina Doherty: Mr. Masding has said two things repeatedly, that Permanent TSB is a customer-centred bank and that in every case it will attempt to bring customers back to sustainable solutions. Of the voluntary assisted sales in both of the charts, the 800, 1,000 and 2,000, how many of them have not been offered any or all of the other options that are available in the long-term solutions category?
