- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: There are documents on the matter. Is that correct?

In this...

Rose Conway Walsh: Central Bank officials would be prepared to meet them. I welcome that. Reference was made to standard variable rate legislation. The Central Bank officials made only limited comments about the issue of the high standard variable rates in this State. Is it still the position of the Central Bank that it does not want the power to set a cap?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: Professor Lane referred to competition and how completion is an alternative. How many applicants for new mortgage lending banks has the Central Bank received in the past year? How many are in the process of being approved?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is the Central Bank comfortable with Bank of Ireland strongly encouraging people to move to fixed-rate mortgages? Are we actually seeing a narrowing of options in a way that suits the bank rather than consumers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: Accordingly, the Central Bank has no problem with banks offering fixed-rate mortgages several points above the European Central Bank rate.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: We are not seeing that competition. The Dáil has passed a Bill on Second Stage that would empower the Central Bank to intervene if insurers are in breach of certain criteria in certain areas in terms of flood insurance. Would the Central Bank use such a power?

Rose Conway Walsh: What I am trying to get at is whether they are the same organisations that were responsible for doing the original audits in the banks before 2008.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: So they would not be the same auditors. The final sentence of the Central Bank's submission states that the further development of European banking union has great potential to deliver a fundamentally more stable banking system over the medium term. Given the short-term external shock that is about to happen with the Italian banking crisis, does Professor Lane believe our banking system is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2016)
Rose Conway Walsh: Are you? Good. I am very happy for you. One of the most important Bills to be produced since the election was initiated here in the Seanad. It represented a great opportunity to show how a considered, thoughtful debate in this House could lead to better legislation, in this case to tackle one of the biggest problems facing our people. The Planning and Development (Housing) and...
