Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: I support the Bill which has been tabled by Fianna Fáil, not because it is a solution to potential repossessions but because all creditors, including vulture funds, should be brought under the Central Bank's regulations and code of conduct. On the tracker mortgage issue, the Central Bank was able to hold the banks to account. It was difficult and it had to bring them in kicking and...

Provision of Cost-Rental Public Housing: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: I support the motion and I thank the Green Party for bringing it before Dáil. It gives us an opportunity to debate the question of the direction in which housing policy is going. I agree with what previous speakers said. Fine Gael has been in power since 2011 and all we have heard is regurgitated rebuilding programmes for housing when we are facing the worst housing crisis we have...

Provision of Cost-Rental Public Housing: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: The Government should read the full report. It makes many valuable points about public housing. In Austria, housing is seen as a public right and a human need, and that is how housing policy is approached. In the future, I would like to read about how it is addressed. It is clear that secure housing helps mental health and general health because people do not have to suffer from...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: There has been much hand-wringing and crocodile tears shed in respect of the proposed sale by Permanent TSB of 18,000 distressed mortgages to unregulated vulture funds which the Taoiseach had control of under his watch. What Permanent TSB, Ulster Bank or potentially AIB are proposing to do is entirely in line with Fine Gael policy in government over the past five years. Tens of billions...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: The Taoiseach's Government saved the banking system but at a huge cost to ordinary people. It might seem that everything is fine. Bank of Ireland made a profit of €1 billion last year. It is paying a dividend to shareholders for the first time since 2008. The new chief executive is doing well too on €1 million a year. The European Central Bank, ECB, does not agree. There...

Severe Weather Conditions: Statements (27 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: I am sure many of us would have received emails from disabled people saying the HSE has contacted them to tell them it cannot guarantee that personal assistants will be around on Thursday and Friday. While I agree that workers cannot be forced to go out if conditions are very bad, how do we facilitate those people who need personal assistants who could be without them for 36 or 48 hours?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: A few questions have been asked and I will not repeat them. The delegates seem to be emphasising that people go through the SAFE process. I have a question about a person has not gone through it and not received a public services card. I know that there is a system in place in the post office where one ticks a series of boxes, one of which concerns identification. I presume a person...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: How far do the delegates think the system will be extended? I know that they have talked about some people volunteering to use their public services car with electricity and other companies. It is a grey area. The company could then state it was seeking a form of identification and that it required the public services card because it was the best form identification there was. Things...
