Seanad: National Archives (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: I will explain to Senator Warfield why he is not allowed to speak. He was not here at the start. Senators are only allowed to speak to an amendment once on Report Stage expect for the proposer of the amendment. Senator Warfield was not the proposer because Senator Ó Donnghaile moved the amendment. Senator Warfield was not here at the time. Unfortunately I am precluded from letting...

Seanad: National Archives (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: The Senator has not moved it yet. We cannot move amendment No. 8 until we have disposed of amendment No. 7. What are we doing with amendment No. 7 in the name of Senators Warfield, Conway-Walsh, Devine, Gavan, Mac Lochlainn and Ó Donnghaile? It arises out of Committee proceedings. Is the Senator pressing the amendment?

Seanad: National Archives (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: Amendments Nos. 9, 10 and 11 in the names of Senators Marie-Louise O'Donnell and Diarmuid Wilson are all out of order for the same reason, that is, they may result in a potential charge on the revenue. Amendment No. 12 has been ruled out of order for a slightly different reason but also because it may result in a charge on the Revenue. I can read out one or both of the explanations if...

Seanad: National Archives (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: I have a neighbour who was born in 1925, so there are some people around, but they may not be too pushed about whether the census details are released on them. I call Senator Hopkins and then the Minister to conclude.

I congratulate the Minister and her officials in getting the Bill passed in such an efficient manner, and I thank all of the Members for their participation. I believe the Minister will be back next week in the Seanad...

Gerry Horkan: I thank Ms McDonagh and her team for the opening statement and the questionnaire. The housing market is a very important part of what Ireland is looking at but equally it is a very important part of what Bank of Ireland is doing. Ms McDonagh mentioned the 3,000 units and 1,700 places in student accommodation and the work on 160 sites. What else can be done by Bank of Ireland to help to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: Is there anything else that the bank can do to help improve the supply, or does Ms McDonagh feel the bank is doing everything possible within its remit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: Ms McDonagh referred to additional staff on the front line, reducing the hierarchy and making it a simpler structure. There are 265 locations and Ms McDonagh said the number of full service branches was to go from 61 to 164. Is it the case that originally all 265 locations were full service branches, that this dropped down to 61 and is going back up to 164 branches? Is this a fair...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (5 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: To clarify, the bank has not made 265 branches cashless. I accept that the word is not "cashless" and that it is automated transactions. The branches that were short-term cash transactions are now offering all-day cash transactions.
