- Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I feel a sense of déjà vu here. I certainly voted for the bank guarantee and I regret it ever since but unlike tonight the bank guarantee was debated in this House over two or three days following the night it was announced in the Chamber. I want to look the Taoiseach in the eye. This morning he refused to apologise to the unfortunate victims of the Magdalen laundries and he is...

Mattie McGrath: The Tánaiste did not vote for it and that is fine. He said it gave away too much power and that is the reason he did not vote for it, yet he has turned around now and told us all that we must vote for this. This Bill was not drawn up today or yesterday, it was probably drawn up a month ago, but it gives far too much power to people who are unelected. It gives them immense power. God...

Mattie McGrath: The Minister will be doing that and I respect him. Many ordinary business people are in jail tonight, having been affected by receiverships, and now we are going to give carte blanche to a new type of receiver, a new animal. I said when NAMA was set up that it was like a wild animal in the woods, we did not know where it would end up and now we are feeding the wild animal to let him off. ...

Mattie McGrath: We must get a full deal on this, as Deputy Adams said, a full package that we were promised this morning was on the way. Is this what they had? These are chilling words that the Tánaiste said in Chile, but this is a farce. The Taoiseach has capitulated. He has finally got the liathróidí and he has stood up to the ECB but this is high stakes and we cannot transfer the...

Mattie McGrath: There must be a full package. The Members opposite can laugh all they like and say what they like but this is farce. The Taoiseach voted for the bank guarantee, Labour said that it gave away too much powers but now they are here with this. The Taoiseach has worn the clothes of the former Taoiseach and he should be ashamed of what they are doing tonight. They should give us time to discuss...

Mattie McGrath: Hear, hear. It is noticeable from all the commentary tonight that no guarantees are being given to the workers in terms of their position and there is no engagement with them. Let us be clear, what is happening to the workers is brutal. They have been given very short notice and this has come as an enormous shock to them and their families. In the contributions from the Government side, we...
