Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Debt Write-down and Debt Resolution Policies: Allied Irish Banks (2 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: There is an element of that. There is no doubt in my mind that these transactions are carried out by human beings. These write-downs are delivered by human beings and we are all susceptible to different elements of individuals who stand before us.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Debt Write-down and Debt Resolution Policies: Allied Irish Banks (2 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Many people's mortgages were shifted to vulture funds or investment funds. Many of them are now paying exorbitant interest rates of 7%, which will shortly rise to 7.5%. Such interest rates can add up to €5,000 more to the annual repayments relating to a mortgage than would have been the case with those people's original banks. In banking in general, why would some people be shifted...

Their research indicates that most people in this country believe...

High Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (7 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Gerry Clarke, a 77-year-old pensioner from Navan, got a bill for two months of €1,600. Kitty, a woman over 100 years old, from Trim, gets a bill of nearly €1,000.

That means these...
