Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I have a broad range of questions but I am conscious that there is only a minute left so I will stay specific to the current thread. It is my understanding each state has a responsibility to enforce sanctions in its own state. People will find it very significant that up to 15 of these entities have some relationship with sanctioned entities within Russia. Most people in Ireland would be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I have asked the Government questions before about who is carrying out the research. My worry is, from all the questions I have asked, I do not know yet that there is one particular authority within the State that is actively investigating at this stage the potential for sanctions to be circumvented through the IFSC. It seems to me, from what Mr. Makhlouf has said, that there are partial...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I appreciate that. I thank Mr. Makhlouf for his answer. I am aware the Chairman wanted to take a break at 3 p.m. Will we hold the rest of the questions until later?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I greatly appreciate the opportunity to come back in. My first question relates to the credit unions. It has always frustrated me that there are two significant financial dots that have never been joined in this country and that concerns the money the credit unions have that they want to put into funds to be invested in the housing market. It is estimated that about €12 billion or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Why is that the case? Does the lending by credit unions represent funding provided directly to people who want to buy houses or does it include lending to AHBs as well?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Regarding the AHBs, they are in great need of funding and the credit unions have funds. Yet there is a mismatch between the supply of those funds and the demand for them. How do we match these aspects up?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: It just seems to me that this is a real missed opportunity. I understand this is likely to be a policy area for the Government rather than a responsibility of the Central Bank of Ireland, but as a country in the grip of such a vicious housing crisis, it is a mistake to be missing this opportunity to match these funds to the organisations that wish to build housing. Turning to another...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The volume of those exiting the market is not being matched by the entries and those left behind, which is key for consumers. In many cases, they are not like for like services. This is not a criticism of the witnesses. That logic is nearly a white flag being raised with regard to the future of the banking market. At the end of this, there will be hundreds of towns and villages with no...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I appreciate that. My final question relates to the economy as a whole. Inflation radically affects families across the country. Electric Ireland increased the price of electricity by 25% today, which is an incredible increase. This will cause pressure to provide wage increases. The Government warned that salary increases could have a spiralling effect on inflation. This committee often...
