- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Monuments (18 Sep 2013)
Peter Mathews: I support the remarks made by other Deputies but on a practical note, it is only a short space of time to the 1916 centenary celebrations. If the people who sacrificed their lives could see O'Connell Street now and the facades of the businesses and the users or occupiers of those businesses, they would not believe what they had sacrificed their lives for. There is an air of menace at...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Regulation of Lobbying Bill 2013: Discussion with OECD (5 Sep 2013)
Peter Mathews: I thank Mr. Bertók for sharing his experience and insights in this area. It is the equivalent in the modern context of what people referred to years ago as the unfamiliarity of the jungle. One needs a guide. Businesses that seek to develop goods and services want to ensure they can be produced and distributed in as certain a territory as they can arrange. Politicians and the public...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Ulster Bank (4 Sep 2013)
Peter Mathews: I suggest that the bank should retain in-house people who will help to educate the future lenders in order to avoid the excesses of the past. There is no point in giving it out to third parties and not having the skills to anticipate the problems in the future.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Ulster Bank (4 Sep 2013)
Peter Mathews: It is unfair to the staff of the banks, who are distressed. There is no communication because people are frightened. Luckily I only have a current account with Bank of Ireland. When I ring that bank's branch in Stillorgan my call is diverted to a call centre in Limerick. It is mad. The banks paid millions of euro to management consultants to tell them how to run their businesses but they...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Ulster Bank (4 Sep 2013)
Peter Mathews: Mathematically, 66.66% of the loans advanced during the course of the bubble should be written off because they are for the accounts of the banks. The customers cannot create credit for themselves. They receive credit and in turn the banks get credit from investors, including in senior secured debt in the case of Bank of Ireland. That bank hosed €61 billion in senior secured debt at...
