Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland: Allied Irish Banks (22 Apr 2015)

Regina Doherty: According to media reports, there is an unconfirmed suggestion that the Government is considering an appeals mechanism, potentially through the courts or, perhaps, some other arbitration body. What is the view of the bank on that? Does it believe it would be unconstitutional in light of its ownership of the asset? How would it affect the bank's ability to retain or recoup owed moneys that...

Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Rates (23 Apr 2015)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister of State for taking this Topical Issue today. On 16 April, we enacted a very welcome amendment to the Valuation Act which gave partial relief or exemption from commercial rates to all sports clubs which had some commercial activity, be it a small bar or renting out some of their AstroTurfs. We did that because we recognised it was unfair to rate the entire club, which...

Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Rates (23 Apr 2015)

Regina Doherty: Everything the Minister of State said is true, including that the statutory obligation to collect levies on property used for commercial purposes is the council's. Why then is the council still seeking to collect rates in respect of the changing rooms, upstairs playing hall and gym of the sports club in my area, none of which have a commercial aspect? They are run on a voluntary basis and...

Sale of Siteserv: Motion [Private Members] (6 May 2015)

Regina Doherty: The motion on today's Order Paper for this evening's Private Members' business is interesting. The so-called "concerns" and "dissatisfaction" of Fianna Fáil, as set out in the motion, in regard to trust between IBRC and this Government can only be described as ironic and somewhat sardonic. I will stand in this Parliament and on the streets of my constituency any day of the week and...

Sale of Siteserv: Motion [Private Members] (6 May 2015)

Regina Doherty: The sheer irony of its Private Members' motion is not lost on anybody inside our outside this House. It was Fianna Fáil's response to the banking crisis that saw families and businesses across Ireland rather than the bank's creditors bare massive losses. That was the Fianna Fáil way. It is because of these Fianna Fáil responses that the cost of private failures were...
