Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the call by the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach on the banks to cut interest rates in line with the cut to the ECB rate. It is fair to say, however, that without actions words do not do much for us.

Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The banks' refusal to pass on the reduction to both domestic and business borrowers is absolutely scandalous, given the hardship that will be caused. It has been brought to my attention that banks are using a small-print clause in contracts in the case of businesses which borrowed at rates linked with the Eurobor rates. They are now changing and increasing the rates to cost-of-fund reference...

Leaders' Questions (17 Nov 2011)

It is a wrong choice diplomatically, politically and economically and it certainly will not add to Ireland's position in the world. The saving involved could have been found quite easily by making other adjustments within the €150 million overhead Vote of the Tánaiste's Department....
