Personal Debt (28 Apr 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: Does the Minister envisage that the proposals involving a resolution-type scheme, which would enable people to reduce their burden in terms of equity, will be accepted? Many young couples who bought houses at inflated prices during the Celtic tiger years are now in negative equity. Some of them, having lost their jobs, are losing the facility to make repayments through no fault of their...

National Asset Management Agency. (28 Apr 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: The Minister is contradicting himself regarding the draft business plan. He said earlier that Ministers are there to make decisions on the basis of the advice provided. He took a plan that was provided and presented it as Government policy. That plan was based on figures that were provided by the banks but were not examined by the Department in any way. When will the business plan be...

Fiscal Policy. (28 Apr 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: Is the Minister aware that none of the three Mazars reports gives a breakdown? They are inadequate because they give no breakdown between new and existing lending, and between overdrafts and long-term loans. It is incredible that the banks are unable to provide that level of breakdown. It is clear there is a cover up because they are not willing to provide that level of breakdown.

Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am sharing my time with Deputy Neville. Credit is not flowing to the SME sector and the real economy. The Central Bank has indicated that private sector credit contracted by €12 billion in the 12 months to February 2010.

Ministerial Pensions: Motion (5 May 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am delighted to speak on the motion, tabled by Deputy Bruton. Legislation should be fair. The Government is hiding behind legal argument in claiming to be bound by the advice of the Attorney General. The least it can do is to publish that advice and acknowledge that there are two sides to this constitutional argument. The Government is hiding behind the issue of property rights yet it...
