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. Over the past ten to 15 years, Ulster Bank staff have experienced what could be termed restructuring fatigue. The witnesses will be aware of this...

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

Gerald Nash: This relates to the question I raised earlier, which was not answered. It was not answered on foot of Senator Davitt's question either. I am not necessarily interested in how many times Ms Howard met representatives of the Central Bank but I am interested in what she discussed with them when she met them. Did they discuss the strategic review since September? If so, what was the nature of...

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

Gerald Nash: Ms Howard and her colleagues might at least address the nature of the conversations with the Central Bank, when they started to discuss the strategic review and the possibility of Ulster Bank exiting the market.

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...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Banking Sector (18 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: 98. To ask the Minister for Finance his views on the proposed imposition of charges, so called negative interest, by banks (details supplied) on transaction monies held in solicitor client accounts for clients and consumers; if he plans to address this matter given the State's shareholding in both banks; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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. Those were announced this week but unfortunately there will be no debate on it this week in the House. 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...

Insurance (Restriction on Differential Pricing and Profiling) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Feb 2021)

Gerald Nash: I welcome the Bill, although it is not the perfect product and requires additional consideration. It would be churlish of me not to recognise the significant contribution that Deputy Doherty has made in evolving policy on insurance in this country over many years. We support the intentions of the Bill. We appeal to the Government to drop its opposition to considering the Bill more...
