- Other Questions: State Banking Sector Regulation (28 Feb 2017)
Pearse Doherty: This is a straightforward question on the sale of loan portfolios by banks and the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, to vulture funds. On my question on Project Eagle which was overruled, for the record, the Department flagged the question for disqualification before the Ceann Comhairle ruled on it. This question asks the Minister to instruct banks and NAMA not to sell loan books...
- Other Questions: State Banking Sector Regulation (28 Feb 2017)
Pearse Doherty: While the Minister's response may sound great, the reality is that the credit servicing firms are only regulated or authorised by the Central Bank because they were operating in Ireland before the relevant legislation was enacted.

Not only was Ireland for sale but it was for sale tax-free as a result of policies pursued by this Government and its predecessor. In fairness, the Minister responded to me on the section 110 issue and he outlined that it was the Fianna Fáil Government...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Tracker Mortgage Data (28 Feb 2017)
Pearse Doherty: I thank the Minister for his response. He mentioned that the Central Bank has noted our motion. In his correspondence or dealings with the Central Bank, has it indicated that it will do as this House has asked of it? It was asked to set a deadline for each financial institution so that there is clarity as to when individuals will be restored to the correct rate, when arrears, which should...

Pearse Doherty: The Minister mentioned that there are deadlines for each of the individual banks. None of that is public. If it is, perhaps the Minister will direct me to it.

None of that is...
