Insurance Industry. (31 Mar 2010)

Richard Bruton: I share Deputy Ó Caoláin's concerns about both employment and the scale of this company which covers about one fifth of all insurance. How could this business come to have been jeopardised by a practice that was going on over five years, according to the Minister's report? This company had trouble of this nature in the past. Would these transactions that occurred here have required...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Richard Bruton: The first words of the Minister's statement, 1 April, are perhaps the most telling because it is something of an April fool's trick to give a speech on the banking crisis and never make a reference to Anglo Irish Bank, particularly the day after the EU said an in-depth study will have to be conducted into the Government's strategy on Anglo Irish Bank and the day after Anglo Irish Bank...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Richard Bruton: I thank the Minister for coming into the House to take questions. The cost of Anglo Irish Bank continues to escalate. The Minister originally articulated the view that that bank should be kept as a going concern and the expectation was that it was to be given €4 billion by way of recapitalisation. This figure has now increased to €22 billion and is rising. The chairman has stated the...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Richard Bruton: We have information from the European Union that it has given temporary approval to put in €8.3 billion and it may allow another €10 billion, but it said it is not accepting the restructuring plan for Anglo Irish Bank, it is demanding a fresh restructuring plan be presented to it in May and it is having an in-depth investigation of the Anglo Irish Bank situation. Within any reasonable...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Richard Bruton: I am not drawing any unwarranted inferences. I am simply saying the Anglo Irish Bank proposal has not been accepted, there is now an in-depth inquiry and the Government plan to support the Anglo Irish Bank approach has not been accepted. There is no inference and nothing is distorted in saying that. Perhaps the Minister would be better occupied by allowing me to ask the questions and using...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Richard Bruton: Exactly. I wish to ask the Minister about his strategy regarding AIB. Why does he believe it is advantageous to wait for the submission of a plan and the recapitalisation proposals until the end of the year? Why does he feel that will support getting credit flowing from AIB? Would it not be better for him to assume control of the process at this stage in order to get a better outcome for...
