- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)
Kieran O'Donnell: If the banks were looking in today, and I do not mean any disrespect to Professor Lane, I would not think they would be shivering in their boots. They appear to be dictating the time. As this stage, this has gone on relatively unchecked for the past five or six years. The Central Bank does not appear to have anyone in the banks at this time. It has required bringing in external advice. I...

Kieran O'Donnell: I ask that in the first quarter we would extend an invitation to Professor Lane and his colleagues to come back to give us an update on the position. We have no option. This is of such magnitude that we owe it to the people effectively to step in to make sure the process is moving at a pace. I take Professor Lane's point on the initial contracts that were set up with the banks. However,...

Kieran O'Donnell: I agree with Senator Devine and extend my compliments to the public and private sector workers who will be working over the Christmas break in Limerick and other areas. Senator Norris referred to intelligence. I thought, given the large influx of females to the House, that the average intelligence would have been brought way up. I thought he would have reflected on that.

Kieran O'Donnell: I refer to rents. I am glad to see that common sense has prevailed in the Dáil and that the Bill will be debated later today and tomorrow. My area, Limerick city, has not been included, but I would have liked it to have been. I have spoken to the Minister, Deputy Coveney, about the matter. He has agreed that it would be prioritised. There is a long way to go. We do not always need...

Kieran O'Donnell: The moral of the story.
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2016)
Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to respond to Senator Rose Conway-Walsh who referred how what was being done was not in the spirit of new politics. It is a pity that she is not in the Chamber. If Sinn Féin believes so strongly in new politics, it is incumbent on Deputy Gerry Adams, given the brutal murder of Brian Stack, to come forward and disclose-----

Kieran O'Donnell: It is important as we hear the phrase being bandied about constantly. If Sinn Féin is so keen on having a truth and reconciliation commission, with which I have no issue-----

Kieran O'Donnell: I know Gerry McCabe's widow, Ann McCabe, well and know the suffering she has gone through. Gerry McCabe and Brian Stack were carrying out their duties on behalf of the State. If Sinn Féin believes in new politics so much, Deputy Gerry Adams should come forward and help in the Brian Stack murder case. I say this because Sinn Féin is bandying about the phrase "new politics" too much.
