Other Questions: Help-To-Buy Scheme (18 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Will the Minister confirm that he will respect the vote result on the motion passed earlier today on the sale of shares in AIB?

Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (18 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: The result of the vote earlier has not changed anything in terms of a reply I received previously on this matter. What I am seeking is a cost benefit analysis and that the Dáil be the final arbiter in voting on this issue. It was the people who took on board the cost of bailing out the bank which is 99.9% owned by the State. Whether it is to be sold, we need to see a cost benefit...

Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (18 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: That shows how eminently wise the Dáil was today in voting not to sell AIB shares until the fiscal rules were renegotiated.

We will end up incurring fines, for example, owing to missing climate change targets because we do not have the ability to spend money on required projects and that will produce a...

[23560/17]

Other Questions: Sale of State Assets (18 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Both questions relate to the possible sale of a portion of AIB, something that should not happen in advance of a Dáil vote and the publication of a cost-benefit analysis. However, as a result of a motion passed by the Dáil earlier today preventing the sale of AIB in advance of the renegotiation of the fiscal rules, these questions might be irrelevant at this stage
