- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Banking Sector: Central Bank (26 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: I will stay with the mortgage question. I have gone down a long way down the road in about five cases pro bono, where I really rolled up my sleeves, and I can truthfully say with hand on heart that the banks are operationally out of control. The point Deputy Tóibín made is absolutely valid. There are different people all over the place and there is no coherence. There is also a...

- Banking Inquiry: Motion (25 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: I wish the people doing the work here well, but we should ask a fundamental question. Whom is this inquiry for? It is for the people of Ireland. It is for the 1.5 million people whose lives have been ripped apart and turned inside out, 500,000 of whom are abroad. The circumstances, the pathology of what happened, are very simple. We do not need to get expert lawyers or expert forensic...

- Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: I thank Deputy Ellis for introducing this modest and relevant Bill. Having listened to Members' contributions and appraised the situation in which we find ourselves, I believe there is an onus on all of us to support the Bill. In attempting to address part of a bigger problem, it will create its own momentum and encourage the Government to bring forward consolidated legislation at a quicker...

- Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: For some weeks, the storm clouds have been gathering and people have shown through peaceful protests that the cumulative burden and the exhaustion that has come over them and divided society have come about on an unfair basis. The events of last Saturday were completely wrong. To imprison someone in a car in such terrifying circumstances is appalling. Let me remind the Ministers of State...
- Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: The cost of repairing, reconditioning and reinstating the water system has been estimated to be approximately €10 billion. When one subtracts this amount from €25 billion, one is left with €15 billion for further capital infrastructure and to support and underpin the social protection of people who have been marginalised. Seven hundred children have no homes tonight, 40...

- Social Welfare Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2014)
Peter Mathews: I welcome the Minister of State. Social protection is a broad canvas and it involves the provision of social supports for people who have been badly mauled through loss of jobs, reduced incomes, reductions in carer's allowance, fewer teacher supports and so on across the system. It is difficult to know where to begin when analysing the large-scale framework of what must be done. When the...
