Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Enormous reputational damage has been caused to the country, especially the internationally traded financial services sector. What has happened over the past number of years has come at a significant cost. One of the sentences that hopped off the page when I read the report was about sunlight acting as a disinfectant against malpractice. To be honest, I have not seen much sunlight here....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The reason I brought that up is because a question was asked about the identity of the individuals involved in this malpractice. Those names are not known. That has a serious implication for society because those individuals could well be involved in very responsible roles in other organisations. We do not know the influence they have or whether they work for the State or other banks. We,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I am a firm believer that individual accountability is a significant motivator of behaviour. We will not get the accountability we need unless the legislation is changed to ensure individual accountability for the behaviour of individuals in this type of role. Is the Central Bank's responsibility for fitness and probity carried out in retrospect? If some of the 16 are in roles in other...

Banking Sector: Statements (3 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: There is a banking crisis unfolding before our eyes in real time in this country. It is one for which the Minister, his party and the Government are in large part responsible. I have listened as, one by one and with furrowed brows, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Deputies rose to their feet in this Chamber and fretted about the closure of banks in their constituencies. Each was careful to...

Reopening Schools and Leaving Certificate Examinations: Statements (3 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The management of this crisis has been enormously difficult for the Minister, the Department and teachers and parents around the country. It is probably one of the biggest impacts that has been experienced by many people. I have no doubt the cost of the closure of schools will continue for years to come as a result of the lack of education and socialisation and due to the mental health...

An Ghaeilge agus An Ghaeltacht: Ráitis (3 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Is tábhachtach agus is luachmhar le muintir na hÉireann an Ghaeilge toisc gur cuid bhunúsach dínn í. Ceanglaíonn sí lenár dtimpeallacht muid. Is stór saibhir de litríocht, ealaíon, amhránaíocht, stair, agus seanchas í. Struchtúr smaointeoireachta atá inti atá uathúil i ndomhan ina bhfuil...

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as teacht isteach chun an méid atá laistigh den tuarascáil sin a phlé. The country finds itself in a new banking crisis at present. My major frustration with this is the fact that Bank of Ireland and AIB can function in the manner in which they are functioning because they operate in an unbelievably uncompetitive banking market. The...

Peadar Tóibín: I understand the two pillar banks account for roughly 80% of the Irish banking market but I am open to correction. The alternatives the Minister mentioned are very small in comparison. When analysing our particular market it is still very clearly a duopoly, which is the opposite of what we need as a State. Perhaps the Minister did so by accident but giving the pretence that there is...
