The figure of €77 billion is broken down as follows: Allied Irish Banks, €24 billion; Anglo Irish...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Seán Fleming: Someone must have been taking magic mushrooms when the Fine Gael proposal was produced as it does not make sense. While it would be great if the magic bank would work, we must live in the real world.

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Seán Fleming: It is not, however, a bailout for builders or developers, all of whom must repay their loans. Why are we bailing out the banking system?

Without access to cash, people cannot live. Access to a banking system in a modern economy is...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Seán Fleming: I have told him and I hope the point will be taken on board. Many years ago we set up tribunals and a decade later they are still ongoing. We are setting up NAMA and I am sure in decades to come it will still be in place. Ministers of Finance will deal with NAMA through its lifetime and during the next decade or so. Inevitably the current Minister will not be in place during the entire...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Seán Fleming: It will happen as part of the regulations in this Bill, as far as I understand. The people of Ireland have a slightly jaundiced view of the banks. People should remember that a long time ago the Insurance Corporation of Ireland debacle resulted in the Government bailing out AIB. There was no change at the top of the bank so it carried on in its merry way and we then found a few years...
