Credit Institution (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) (Amendment) Scheme 2010: Motion (29 Sep 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: A third of Green Party Members have spoken in this debate and only a fraction of Fianna Fáil Deputies. That is symbolic of something.

I remember on the night that the question was asked why the Government was including dated subordinated debt...

He has extended the period covered by the commission of inquiry from 1 January 2003 to 28 September 2008 in respect of all elements bar the supervisory role of the Central Bank and the Financial Regulator.

Banking Sector Crisis: Motions (8 Jul 2010)

Kieran O'Donnell: I accept that, but my point is critical in the context of Anglo Irish Bank. Subordinated debt will not be guaranteed under the new loan guarantee fund, LGF, scheme.

Between Anglo...

Kieran O'Donnell: This is so important. What we want is for the Minister for Health and Children or the Minister with responsibility for disability to come before the House to say this service will be reopened. This is about real people's lives. Yesterday, the Taoiseach was here talking about 130 people as if they did not exist.
