- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Is it the case that the legislation does not allow for a 100% sum to be taken? I think the legislation mentions 50%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: For the purposes of clarification, Mr. O'Connor mentioned that where somebody fell into arrears there could be payment breaks. I understand the ISI will not allow consecutive payment breaks. If somebody falls into arrears, Mr. O'Connor mentioned that a creditor under the legislation could appeal to the court to have the notice terminated. If the breach has not been remedied by the debtor,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Lastly, I note the protocols are ready to go. It seems that everything is agreed on them.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: What engagement has Mr. O'Connor had with those agencies or organisations that have worked on the front line? We have had a number of them before this committee. The Chairman invited in the likes of FLAC and New Beginning. The IMHO has been here.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: I understand that. I am sorry to push this, but Mr. O'Connor made a lot of the fact that ISI has been able to introduce these protocols in a shorter time than has been done in other countries. In fairness, there have been a lot of successes, and some disappointments, with his agency. However, while this is about PIPs, the banks and the credit unions, there is a view that some PIPs are...

Pearse Doherty: Around these protocols?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)
Pearse Doherty: That is fine. Lastly, I ask that Mr. O'Connor, before he signs off on these protocols, engage with those organisations to ask for their views and support.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Yesterday we saw from the Government's dithering in explaining to householders how much it intends to force them to pay for water how the Government is oblivious to the hardships being inflicted on families across the State. It is not lost on those families that Labour had a famous advertisement released for the general election in 2011, when the party promised to protect the same families...
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Yes, although there is not much difference these days, in fairness. I know our Labour Party colleagues struggle to differentiate. A one-party Fine Gael Government would hike car tax, increase VAT, cut child benefit, increase DIRT, hike the tax on wine by €1 and introduce a property tax of €238 per year. Three years on, every one of those commitments from Fine Gael has been...
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: It would suit the Tánaiste better-----
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Recognising the disastrous impacts of these cuts and tax hikes that the Government has introduced, will the Tánaiste now show some genuine commitment to, and understanding of, the hard-pressed families by scrapping the doubling of the carbon tax introduced today?
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: I could not hear the Ceann Comhairle with the heckling.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Sinn Féin does not support, and the Tánaiste should not suggest that we do, the increase in the carbon tax taking effect from today, which the Government introduced in the Finance Bill last year.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: We have provided a series of alternatives to this Government, comprising the Labour Party and Fine Gael, that it has rejected.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: The Tánaiste feels it is fit and proper to ask those many thousands of households across the State to pay additional tax on their bale of briquettes, or their bag of coal. The Tánaiste feels it is proper to ask families, whom I have met the length and breadth of this State, struggling to make ends meet, to pay an extra €1.20 on a bag of coal. Over the course of a year, if...
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: It is currently at the later stages of signing, sealing and delivering the water tax.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Will the Tánaiste stand up for ordinary people and stop the doubling of carbon tax, which is taking effect under his Government, his leadership, with the full support of the Labour Party today?
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: Every bit hurts. That was the advertisement that the Labour Party liked. It delivered it all, every single bit of it.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: -----increase the cost of fuel.
- Leaders' Questions (1 May 2014)
Pearse Doherty: It is a fantasy to think the Government can do that by increasing the cost of fuel.
