- Irish Film Board (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Film, whether for cinema, television or small personal screens, is probably the most popular cultural activity, not only in Ireland but also on the planet. In that sense, having a screen or film industry in Ireland is very important in terms of the country's capacity to respond in cultural terms to the modern world and modern life. Almost every European country, and most other countries,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: I thank the witnesses from Permanent TSB and Pepper for attending the meeting. It has been a great source of frustration for Members of the Oireachtas that there has been little or no accountability in respect of so-called investment funds and how they treat mortgage owners. This is a key question in terms of the transfer Permanent TSB is undertaking. I want to start with the case of a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: It is a bundle.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: What is Permanent TSB's anticipated return on that holding?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: I appreciate it is a bundle, but how did Permanent TSB approach the valuation of the warehoused elements? Were they valued in full or discounted in terms of transferring them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: It is the full amount.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: In other words, having sold it to Pepper, Permanent TSB's view is that people owe the full amount. Notwithstanding whatever discount arrangement arose in the sale to Pepper, is it likely or unlikely that customers will get any deal regarding the restructured amounts hanging over them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: I thank Mr. Masding. Would the Pepper representatives like to tell the committee about how they are approaching it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: I wish to raise again one or two earlier points. The witnesses obviously felt restricted at various points by the confidentiality agreement that exists in respect of Glenbeigh. Given that both PTSB and Pepper have stressed the fact that they are regulated entities, would they agree they are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Is Pepper regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: In that context, given that so much information was off the pitch because of the confidentiality agreements, is the Central Bank of Ireland privy to the confidentiality agreement as the regulator of Pepper and the PTSB or is there any oversight, as far as both Ms Masding and Mr Ryan are aware, by any regulator in Ireland in respect of Glenbeigh?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Is Mr. Masding not prepared to say if the Central Bank of Ireland has had any oversight? I am trying to establish an important legal point. This confidentiality agreement is obviously very important. They are at the core of the commercial transaction that involved the homes of 6,000 people. Notwithstanding that the witnesses have come before the committee and have been quite co-operative,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Is Mr. Masding implying that the Department of Finance and the Minister for Finance, as a significant shareholder, is privy to the confidentiality agreements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Okay. Mr. Ryan referred, understandably, to the confidentiality agreements as the operational structure he is operating under, but he also placed considerable stress on the fact the Pepper is regulated. In terms of the references to the confidentiality agreement, therefore, has the regulator sight of those confidentiality agreements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Were the Central Bank of Ireland to require sight of the confidentiality agreements, would Mr. Ryan be agreeable or would the legal position of Pepper permit Mr. Ryan to disclose them to the regulators of the Central Bank of Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: May I raise another point? In the summary, the package of loans of PTSB was originally valued at par at about €1.3 billion.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)
Joan Burton: Could that be a laywoman's way of putting it that the value of the whole bundle in terms of the book debt was €1.3 billion?
