Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Matters: Discussion (23 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: I concur with what my colleagues have said. This has been an absolutely devastating period for Ulster Bank staff, who have had the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads for many months. It is quite frankly outrageous that staff had to learn of their fate and that their jobs were at risk of coming under threat from media reports. I notice that Ulster Bank's own statement, which it will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Matters: Discussion (23 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: Frankly, to a greater or lesser degree, we are all disturbed about the treatment and experience of Ulster Bank staff in recent months. They had to read about the potential risk to their jobs in the newspapers as far back as last September.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Matters: Discussion (23 Feb 2021)

Did they discuss the strategic review since September? If so, what was the nature of...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: As the Tánaiste knows, we are reaching the endgame on Ulster Bank and the imminent decision we expect from NatWest. Obviously, Ulster Bank is at a crossroads. Earlier, the Tánaiste mentioned the need to consider a third banking force in the context of Irish banking and the Irish economy. It seems that an obvious partner for Ulster Bank's assets and business would potentially be...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: There must be a debate in this House on the roll-out of the vaccination programme and the identification of the national vaccination centres.

Monday's announcement, which should have been a good news story, has actually turned into a bit of a mess. The Taoiseach will know that...
