Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Bill 2010: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (15 Dec 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: In his earlier reply, the Minister said that I said this is not bank resolution legislation. I did not say that - I said it is not like "the bank resolution legislation that has been put in place in other jurisdictions". A number of aspects of that have been dealt with. One of them, of course, is the resort to the courts. That is not normally the provision in a bank resolution Act....

Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Bill 2010: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (15 Dec 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: The point has been well made by Deputies Burton and Noonan to the effect that the Minister is a one-man legislature. This Bill will be waved around classes in UCD, Trinity College and the education colleges for many years to come, whereby the Minister has taken unto himself powers that need neither the House or the Constitution. Again, he has not adequately explained why he needed to...

Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Bill 2010: Committee Stage (15 Dec 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: I support the amendment. As Deputy Burton stated, the Labour Party is in favour of the introduction of bank resolution legislation. Such legislation was not in place in 2008. Not many Members knew much about bank resolution regimes at that time. However, we have all learned a little about them since. Having waited for a bank resolution Bill since 2008, we have suddenly been presented...

Handling of Criminal Matter in Longford: Statements (10 Dec 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: On my own behalf and that of the Labour Party, I join colleagues in the House to express sympathy to Marie Keegan and her children and their wider circle of family and friends at the loss of Mr. Noel Keegan in such tragic circumstances last New Year's Eve. The report by the prisons inspector concerns the most serious failings of our criminal justice system. I join the Keegan family in...

Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Dec 2010)

Pat Rabbitte: The Government has the votes to carry this Bill. The amendment before the House, in the name of Deputy Penrose, merely seeks to ensure the cost of €1 in the national minimum wage does not apply to existing workers. I cannot see why the Minister cannot take that on board. We know what will happen in the real world. Many of these workers are casual workers and are occasionally let go and...
