Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (11 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: It is reasonable to say that some of the people in the North, approximately one third, voted for Brexit whereas 99% of those in the South would have said "No" to Brexit. Presumably people who were in favour of Brexit are less put out by it than people who wanted to remain in the EU. AIB has performance targets for lending, new lending and so on. Can Dr. Hunt share with us what those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (11 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: That is fair enough and I will accept it if Dr. Hunt has to answer another of my questions in that way but I will keep asking questions. We asked all of the banks about Brexit, something which Dr. Hunt has covered a little, banking culture and the move or journey all banks need to make in that regard. Some are a little further down the path than others. The representatives of AIB have...

Gerry Horkan: With reference to the pay review, the cap on bankers' pay and so on, I note from the answers in the questionnaire that AIB has 11 personnel earning between €400,000 and €500,000; 15 earning between €300,000 and €400,000; 67 earning between €200,000 and €300,000; 856 earning between €100,000 and €200,000; and 8,822 earning less than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (11 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: I presume they are not so much affected by the pay cap as the pay structure being a base salary with no ability to provide great levels of performance-related pay, as opposed to the other institutions.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (11 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: What is Dr. Hunt's assessment of what a percentage bonus on a base salary should be? We have heard figures from London and various places where people were on €200,000 or €300,000 and were getting bonuses of double that. What is Dr. Hunt's assessment? Clearly, in the bad times people made decisions they should not have made. They loaned money they should not have loaned...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business. On the day that is in it, I could not go without mentioning Brexit again and the special meeting of the European Council in Brussels. Theresa May is now hoping for a delay until 30 June but there does not seem to be a lot of co-operation and collaboration among the parties in the UK yet. I still hope they will come to their senses and...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Apr 2019)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Apr 2019)

Gerry Horkan: I raise the topic of illegal dumping which seems prevalent at the moment, perhaps because local elections are upcoming and people are out and about more often. It occurs in urban areas but particularly in rural areas. I keep seeing photographs on Facebook of local election candidates and sitting councillors who have been canvassing somewhere and there are 50 black bags in a field which have...
