Paul Coghlan: There has been and there is concern about the gap between the European Central Bank rate and the standard variable mortgage rate.

Paul Coghlan: More importantly, Senator Jim D'Arcy raised the matter of policing along the Border. I am concerned about the situation in the Louth division and in Dundalk. The local gardaí have to manage and monitor 34 crossing points. I do not believe they have the proper allocation of personnel to cover that. The crime lords who are engaged in the smuggling and fuel laundering mentioned by...

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the witnesses and congratulate them on the turnaround in the bank in recent years. It is fair to say the bank is doing better than its competitors overall. The bank is only responsible for 6% of the whole process of attempted repossessions. When does the bank anticipate a pay off to the taxpayer of the remaining 14% or thereabouts? There is public concern at the gap between ECB...

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the spring statement as set out yesterday by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan. Despite the comments of the Opposition, which seek to down play that statement, as is the right of the Opposition, it sets out a path as regards strengthening of the recovery which is under way and the manner in which our public...
