- Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Oct 2008)
John Perry: I am delighted to speak on this very important issue. When one considers the partnership between the Government and the banks for the past ten years, for every â¬100 million provided by the banks, the State benefited indirectly through taxation by up to â¬40 million.
- Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Oct 2008)
John Perry: The amendment concerns regulation. It is important to ascertain where the â¬400 billion came from. It was a unique partnership. Personal debt was huge and indebtedness rose because the more money that was given out, the more revenue came to the State. Like most of my Oireachtas colleagues, I must accept on trust the argument that the immediate liquidity problems of the banking sector...

John Perry: The Taoiseach stated it is his intention that the taxpayer would not be liable for any shortfall down the road. He stated he is not handing over any money to the banks. All he has done, he suggested, is that he has lent the name of this country so the banks could access liquidity. I very much endorse the point made by the Fine Gael Party leader, Deputy Kenny, that we do not want to see a...
- Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Oct 2008)
John Perry: This is important. When those people approach the banks and request that they be allowed to pay interest only or make an alteration to their original agreement with the bank, they use the opportunity to increase the rate of interest being charged to homeowners. This is important. If we are underwriting the banks, they should help people. Many of those people are on ECB tracker mortgages,...
