Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Finally, to close the loop, while the Central Bank states that all mortgages are being examined, I seek reassurance that those who have not received correspondence who were the subject of FSO complaints and who received negative decisions will not be outliers. Essentially, I am asking for that assurance because we do not want to come back to this again in the future when another raft of...

Northern Ireland: Statements (29 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Today marks a frustrating day for Northern Ireland. The majority of people there voted against Brexit, and at lunchtime today a letter from Theresa May will be presented to Donald Tusk as the UK activates Article 50 to begin the process of leaving the EU. We face the prospect of a hard Border with at least some, possibly major, changes to trade on our island, and even larger disruption to...

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: If the Tánaiste has faith in the Policing Authority and if she has known about this since June 2016, why did she leave it until yesterday, according to her statement, to meet Josephine Feehily, the chair of the authority, to state that she was formally referring these issues to her under the Garda Síochána Act?

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: What I am trying to understand is the internal dynamic that exists between the Tánaiste, the Garda Commissioner, the Garda Inspectorate and the Policing Authority. People watching these proceedings will question why the Policing Authority issued a statement today that states:The Authority again expressed its disappointment at not being advised in a timely manner that an audit into the...

Seán Sherlock: I ask the Tánaiste to correct me then.

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Whose obligation was that?

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I have limited time.

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: This speaks to the heart of the culture of management in An Garda Síochána. Again, there is an inherent weakness in this regard. There should have been an obligation on the part of An Garda Síochána, surely, to inform the Policing Authority in a timely fashion. Does the Tánaiste agree with that statement?

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: This is very serious.

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Yes, but, a Cheann Comhairle-----

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I appreciate that. We can no longer keep giving An Garda Síochána mismanagement political cover. Decisions must be taken as to how the force is managed. I understand the predicament in which the Tánaiste finds herself, but we need to hear about concrete actions from her. Given that we have a Garda Inspectorate, a Policing Authority and a Department of Justice and Equality,...

An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Has the Tánaiste faith in the Policing Authority? It is a simple question.

Seán Sherlock: Where does the buck stop on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: Mr. Carville described credit unions as diverse and stated their mode of operation presents challenges in that there are 283 different boards and entities. He also referred to the need for flexibility and proportionality in policy and regulation to support the credit union framework. Does this involve having a process of tiered regulation and, if so, when will such a process be in place?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I ask Mr. Carville to provide brief, concise answers because I have only a short time to question him.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I would prefer the view of the Department of Finance. The credit union representative organisations before the joint committee on Tuesday last. Tiered regulation does not appear to feature in the model being pursued from a policy perspective, that is, by the Department, or by the Central Bank. According to one school of thought, a rural credit union cannot be assessed in the same way as an...
