Brexit: Statements (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: The Taoiseach referred to the EU negotiating guidelines and to how the negotiations would proceed. Ireland needs direct representation at those negotiations because the sad Brexit decision by the UK is so significant for us. The Taoiseach said negotiations will take place under Michel Barnier and his team, who will report back to councils, but they will not necessarily be responsive enough...

Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: The Minister's reply is incredibly contradictory. His statement that he has intervened to secure increased funding for socially necessary transport and free travel and that he is reviewing the commercial bus licensing system indicates that he knows he has a key role in the future of our public transport system. The workers and management negotiating need to know these facts. The Minister...

Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: The Minister's performance on this issue has been appalling and very disappointing. He is clearly a party to what will happen to public transport in the future because he is the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. He is the Minister. He seems to have forgotten that simple fact. He has been prepared to allow 100,000 people to wait morning after morning for this strike to be resolved...

Other Questions: National Debt (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: Refinancing costs with the historic coupons on bonds sold when Ireland had already entered into the crisis and then hoping that they will still be lower in two or three years' time is not a strategy. That is the core point that I am raising today. Is it the stated strategy of the NTMA that long-term rates are unlikely to raise above current levels by the crucial period of June 2019 to...

[16418/17]

Other Questions: National Debt (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: We had a very sobering account of our national debt from the chief executive of the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA, Mr. Conor O'Kelly, and his head of funding, Mr. Frank O'Connor in the Committee on Budgetary Oversight a few weeks ago. They answered concerns that had been put to me about the refinancing of our debt, particularly in late 2019 and early 2020, when these chimney...

Other Questions: National Debt (4 Apr 2017)

Tommy Broughan: Is it really a healthy position? The Minister refers to the ESM and EFSF loans. Are they not really irrelevant at this stage, given that we were allowed to refinance at face value rather than the net present value, NPV? Is the reality not that over 34% of our marketable debt requires refinancing in a very tight period of June 2019 to October 2020? In addition, I am informed that there is a...
