- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (27 May 2015)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I support the amendment, as I did the last one. I wish to signal that I may table an amendment on Report Stage. I fundamentally oppose and object to the idea that people's mortgages can be bundled up and sold to vulture funds. That kind of carry-on produced a global economic crisis. I would like to see a regulation that precludes companies, firms or vulture funds which are not real...

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (27 May 2015)
Richard Boyd Barrett: None the less, the Minister made the argument and I shall not sit here all night making that argument. He made the point, but I do not understand the double standard. It is unfair that very wealthy people who owed money to a bank, in corporate loans, were facilitated with big write-downs for companies that they bought. There might have been other companies that had loans and were paying...

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (27 May 2015)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I appreciate that the amendment at least acknowledges the concerns of members and people in this situation about the prospect of loans being sold to vulture funds. Deputy Fleming made the point that if the credit servicing firm is breaching the code of conduct on mortgage arrears and consumer rights generally it can be taken to task but the owners of the loans should also be subject to...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I would like to raise an issue under this section. I do not even understand it but I said I would raise it for Deputy Naughten. I have already mentioned the other matter he wishes to have inserted. He is not actually ill, he is undergoing foot surgery. That is why he is not here. He wants to signal his intention to ensure everyone taking out a mortgage is required to make a will. I am...

- Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Motion (Resumed) (27 May 2015)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The only issue on which I agree with Deputy Patrick O'Donovan and the Government is the stunning and staggering hypocrisy of Fianna Fáil when it comes to this matter. For Fianna Fáil belatedly to be concerned about the sell-off of Aer Lingus, when it commenced the process when it sold three quarters of it, beggars belief and confirms the verdict of its own departing member in the...
