Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Mick Barry: My first question is this: if Bank of Ireland purchases Davy, will Davy executives become Bank of Ireland executives and be subject to the bankers' pay cap?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Engagement with Bank of Ireland (23 Mar 2021)

Mick Barry: Let us not talk about what could happen; let us talk about what has happened in Irish banking. AIB is lined up to purchase Goodbody and Goodbody executives can stay as Goodbody executives and remain outside the bankers' pay cap. Not only that, AIB executives can now transfer over within the new entity, which is still AIB, to be Goodbody executives to get around the bankers' pay cap....

Does Ms McDonagh think she would rule that out in a situation whereby Bank of Ireland was to purchase an "entity B", or would she be open to that in such...

Young People and Access to Further and Higher Education: Motion [Private Members] (11 Mar 2021)

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (11 Mar 2021)

Mick Barry: My first question is for the Minister of State. She just stated that 99% of over-85s had been vaccinated. Will she clarify? Is she using that figure as a general way of saying that most have been vaccinated or is she saying that it is actually 99%? My next questions are for the Minister. Pfizer and Merck were contacted by the Government about producing vaccines in Ireland. The State...
