Order of Business (19 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: There are two questions, one on the ordering of business and the other on pending legislation. The Taoiseach is aware that local authorities across the State are preparing budgets and organising workshops and there is much anger evident among local authority members because they are doing this work in a vacuum as the local government fund has not been announced. There is a feeling the water...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: With respect, Minister, we are sitting in the finance committee of our Parliament. The Minister has outlined the first step. I simply want to know if the next step is that finance must come from the State's coffers or if there are other proposals. There is a great deal in the mix in terms of the ESM, bail-ins post 2015, etc. I do not want a long drawn out discussion - it is not what I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: That is fair enough. No one knows at this point in time. We must rely on the Central Bank's information. We will wait and see. I wanted to deal with the process. In terms of both the ECOFIN and the Eurogroup meeting, the Minister made no reference to the potential retrospective recapitalisation of Irish banks. I wonder where this sits at this point in time. The Minister will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: They said that as they shift ahead, the potential for this is very slim because of political circumstances and the rest. I wonder if this is still on the agenda. I note the Minister stated that he does not want to tie the pillar banks to the ESM and there is a potential for selling shares in the market. Is this still being aggressively pursued as it was suggested back in June 2012 by the State?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: That is fair enough. The previous speaker asked a question that is not on the agenda of the ECOFIN meeting and the Minister answered him in saying that it is not on the ECOFIN meeting but there is a second meeting, which is the Eurogroup meeting at which country specific issues are dealt with. The Minister then went on to answer the question. If he wants to stonewall me on the retroactive...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: I do not want a Punch and Judy show. The credit line is not on the agenda of the Eurogroup. As the Minister informed the committee, the agenda of the Eurogroup is specific country issues, in which there is a trawl through of the situations in Spain, Greece and Ireland. As the Minister said, that gives him an opportunity to talk about exiting the bailout. The question I am putting to the...
