Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I wish to share my time with Deputy Dara Calleary.

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this Bill. It is well known that this Bill was initiated in the Seanad by the previous Minister for Finance, the late Brian Lenihan. Therefore, it is effectively the same Fianna Fáil Bill and is almost word for word what was set out then. While I do not want to make a political issue of it, I welcome the fact that the Government continues to deal...

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: Not yet. I wish the Government side well in that regard. Like all Members, I would like to see a situation develop where the exposure to the taxpayer is limited to the greatest extent possible. I know people on all sides of the House, and the previous Government, approached this crisis from the viewpoint of bringing about burden sharing, but that was not possible because of the way in...

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that. If the Deputy works with me I will try to tease out the issue for him. The ECB set its face against that, which was regrettable. I welcome the continued efforts by the current Government and the Minister for Finance to try to ensure that on the broader level, in terms of the resolution of the financial crisis, pressure will be brought to bear on the ECB to ensure burden...

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: On the 99th day in Government he set about keeping the ball in the air by suggesting that burden sharing would be sought by the Government and it would take a strong and proactive approach in Europe. At the same time, he did not face the issue with those who most objected to it, namely, the ECB. It is interesting that although making that suggestion, unsecured and unguaranteed bondholders...

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: As Deputy Mathews knows, the ECB is still set against it. While the millions are relatively small in comparison with the requirement in November to settle €1 billion, I wish the Government well in its efforts. Hopefully it can find a resolution to the matter. To remind Deputy Mathews, the Minister, Deputy Leo Varadkar, indicated in the course of the election campaign that not another cent...

Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No.2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2011)

Timmy Dooley: Thank you. I have always recognised the Deputy's consistency on this matter. The only question I raise in my contribution is that while the Deputy set out a clear pattern in advance of the election as to how this might be resolved, his party leadership and the Minister for Finance have not necessarily followed the path set out prior to the election.
