Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: This is my last question. Mr. McMahon gave an indication of very clear figures regarding some claims that were made. I presume all those were settled in court and that none was settled by the industry. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: Mr. McMahon referred to the slip and fall in a car park. One can look on the Internet and find there was a slip and fall in a car park involving a 74 year old woman, there was wet paint, the area was not cordoned off, there was no signage or anything else, she was seriously damaged, she dislocated her shoulder and so on. Why are the representatives of FBD trying to shock us by telling us...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Sector: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: I will finish on this point. We heard evidence before the committee from the marts, which FBD insures. We had a number of pieces of evidence, but the one I recall was of a claim whereby somebody was injured by a horse in a field, FBD settled with that claimant and, obviously, the mart's premium went up dramatically. The mart does not own a horse. The incident had nothing to do with the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Long Stay Residential Units (3 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: The Minister of State has not refuted the point that he told them that the unit was going to be in design stage. What I said was that what the people in Donegal will say is that he told them barefaced lies. Will he refute the point that he sat across the table and said the unit was going to detailed design in 2019, instead of throwing accusations at me? Will he refute that point?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Long Stay Residential Units (3 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: That just confirms exactly what we have been told by the HSE, that the commitment given by the Minister of State has been ignored. I ask him about this on behalf of the committee members who made the long journey to meet them in his ministerial office. He told them face to face that there would be a detailed design in 2019, planning in early 2020 and a phased transition based on the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: Last week, the CEO of a vulture fund told its investors that Ireland is the gift that keeps on giving. By God did they get another gift yesterday when Ulster Bank announced that it was selling nearly 4,000 homes, including 3,200 family homes. There are up to 10,000 real people in those homes whose loans are now being sold to a vulture fund. The Taoiseach simply does not understand what...
