Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (23 Jun 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: It is a disgrace that the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage leaves when Opposition Deputies are speaking. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin changed the rules of the Dáil so that their speakers would come first in these debates. They pushed Opposition voices further towards the end of the debates. That means that the Minister typically leaves before...

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe go léir as teacht isteach agus as an gcur i láthair seo a thabhairt dúinne. I would like to question the witnesses on the banking market in Ireland, which looks to be broken. What I mean by saying it looks to be broken is that there are two major players with 85% of the market at this stage. It is an oligopoly for all intents and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: Permanent TSB (23 Jun 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I am approaching this subject from the perspective of the exit of Ulster Bank and KBC. We are looking at a shrinking market and a further concentration of the market into fewer hands. Situations like that never bode well for customers. Mention was made of capital requirements as a possible reason for banks to leave the market. What other reasons are there for banks to be leaving the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Banking Matters: Permanent TSB (23 Jun 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Turning to the general market, PTSB in March reported a loss of €166 million. I think that occurred because the bank set aside €155 million against possible loan defaults. Have we information regarding those loan defaults materialising, because that would serve to give us a picture of what is happening with small and medium-sized businesses in the economy now? Has that...

In other words, the credit structure does not suit their building model and as a result international investment funds come in and soak up that market to a certain extent.
