- Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I fundamentally disagree with Senators Ross and Donohoe. The institutions of the State command and demand a certain level of respect. As I stated, in a small country it will be possible to trace some level of lineage or connection to a political party, even in the case of Senator Ross. We expect the Government of the day to take decisions on behalf of citizens. Governments must have...
- Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: That is the Senator's opinion. This is a democratically elected Government which has made determinations with which the Senator happens to disagree.

Marc MacSharry: I have nothing to be careful about. I am talking about the future.
- Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I want to talk about the future and build on the good work already done with the other appointments. Do the appointments of David Begg, Matthew Elderfield or Alan Dukes to the board of Anglo Irish Bank represent cronyism? We cannot cherry pick. It is not about showing a lack of respect. In changing the regulatory regime with this Bill and two more Bills to follow, it shows the belief in...
- Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I believe in this institution's ability to do that well and continue to do it in the way it has been undertaken. It has shown the world an example in recent times.
- Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I assume the Minister will not accept the amendment but between the passage of this legislation and the publication of the Central Bank Reform (No. 2) Bill perhaps the Department or the Minister might agree to liaise with the regulator and the Irish League of Credit Unions to assess the impact of the legislation on the day-to-day running of that organisation in continuing the very good work...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the publication yesterday of the expert report. I differ from my colleague on the Opposition side of the House. As Members will know, the prevention of family home repossession group which I established with others had a number of recommendations. I am pleased to say some of them are included in the report released yesterday. It is important to say it is an interim report and...
- Seanad: Commission of Investigation (Banking Sector) Order 2010: Motion (8 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I commend the motion. It is important the commission of investigation gets underway quickly. I welcome the appointment of Mr. Nyberg, former director general for financial services at the Finnish Ministry of Finance, and the work of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service, of which I am a member. I look forward to both these investigations bringing more clarity to the...
- Seanad: Commission of Investigation (Banking Sector) Order 2010: Motion (8 Jul 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I propose that the debate be extended to 7.30 p.m.
- Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Sep 2010)
Marc MacSharry: I do not want to go into the detail of how we will discuss the banking guarantee extension later today, with a full day of debate on the economy tomorrow. When one considers the attack, as it was, on the gates of Leinster House by a member of the public today, it brings home the level of anger of that particular individual. It is testament to the kind of anger we have all experienced over...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Sep 2010)
Marc MacSharry: It relates to servicing our national debt. What is much more pressing, as has been alluded to by many, is dealing with the deficit in 2010 of â¬18.5 billion. To follow on from Senator O'Toole's comments, it would be beneficial for us to have a report on progress in the Croke Park agreement, the efficiencies that have been introduced and where we are getting more from less in that regard....
- Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Sep 2010)
Marc MacSharry: The pantomime of who is to blame and what could have been done is for yesterday. What is for discussion today is our future. I say this irrespective of what I read in the Financial Times and what is written by the Dublin-based correspondent of The Wall Street Journal, whom I last heard defending an article of his by saying he was only repeating what was stated in the Irish press. As an...

Marc MacSharry: I join Members in welcoming the Minister of State. I am pleased to have the opportunity to make some brief points on the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee)(Amendment) Scheme 2010. Recent years have been difficult for Ireland and the House will have substantial time tomorrow to debate various aspects of the performance of the economy, the future, what we think has been done...
