Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

Pearse Doherty: The reason we have record levels of homelessness in this State is because the Taoiseach and Fine Gael are in government. The reason rents are out of control is because the Taoiseach is in government and Fine Gael is in government. The reason an entire generation has given up and is emigrating to places such as Sydney, Toronto, New York and London is because Fine Gael is in government and it...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

Pearse Doherty: The Taoiseach has been in government for 12 years. This is his 13th budget. We have had the highest record ever of overcrowding in our hospitals. The Taoiseach can talk about the millions and billions of euro but people in my constituency want to know that if they get admitted to the hospital they will not have to lie on a trolley or sit in a chair for over a day. They want to know that...

The cost containment measures are to be rolled across the National...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I thank the Taoiseach. There is no doubt that Dee Forbes was not the only person who knew about these events. We can see that from the Grant Thornton report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I thank our guests for coming in. I put it to them that when parliamentary questions were asked very directly about the introduction of domestic legislation and its compatibility with the payment services directive, the information on the public record was false if not misleading, given what the Commission has now put into the public record. I say that as somebody who has been raising the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: With respect, whatever about the reasons the Department may not want to do this domestically, I have two questions dated 22 February and it was later I actually put on record the Commission's view, which is: Since the Directive does not contain any provision on a liability regime for authorised push payments fraud, Member States are therefore free to introduce such regulations at national...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: It is only after I put that on the record that the Department made it clear for the first time, after being asked numerous times, and after the Minister responded in the Dáil that it appeared it was not possible to introduce provisions other than those that were laid down in the directive, but that only applies to unauthorised push payments.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I just want to clarify this. The Commission has proposals out today. Mr. Palmer is saying it is interesting the Commission has not recommended dealing with this but that we can do it domestically. The question was whether the domestic legislatures have the power to do this. I asked this because we are fighting a battle with two hands tied behind our back with APP fraud. There are loads...
