An Bord Pleanála: Statements (15 Sep 2022)

Mattie McGrath: This debate is timely. It is interesting that yesterday, we had the debate on the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, report and today on this report on An Bord Pleanála. The public has lost faith in An Bord Pleanála. Villages, communities and ordinary people have no faith in An Bord Pleanála. This has been going on for a long time, where people were making objections....

CervicalCheck Tribunal Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Jun 2019)

Mattie McGrath: ...of tribunals, we must be in kindergarten if we are going to set up another one. 10 o’clock We have had the experience. How many more costly tribunals must we have? We had the inquiry over IBRC. We had a briefing recently by the Taoiseach. It was due and now it has gone two years beyond its date and it is only on the first module of 61 pieces. It will go on forever. It was...

Supplementary Report of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

Mattie McGrath: ...had one bad experience after another with tribunals over the past three decades. When are we going to learn? The Taoiseach brought us to a briefing recently about the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, one. One module has gone years over the deadline and millions of euro beyond what it should have cost. I have no faith in this gravy train. I want honesty, decency and respect for...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Mattie McGrath: ...the House and that was upheld by my good learned colleague from Tipperary last week in the High Court. This is what is going on. Given that Mr. X - we all know who he is - owed €500 million to IBRC in March 2012, why did that bank not ask him to pay down his debt by €50 million rather than giving him money to purchase Siteserv? It is a simple question. Given that Mr. X...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Mattie McGrath: Mr. Dukes and Mr. Aynsley failed to file an up-to-date statement of affairs up to the date of liquidation of IBRC and they were taken to court by former customers. I was there in the court that same day. A letter from the Minister for Finance - I will not name him but we all know him - was handed to the High Court judge, Ms Justice Laffoy, that day from the Minister himself. Was this the...

An Bille um an gCeathrú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Ceapacháin Bhreithiúnacha) 2013: An Dara Céim - Thirty-fourth Amendment to the Constitution (Judicial Appointments) Bill 2013: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Feb 2014)

Mattie McGrath: ...revealed that some senior judges had lost €250,000 in various investments. These investments include investments in Anglo Irish Bank. Every day of the week we hear such stories. In the case of IBRC, people are brought before the eminent justices who are up to their necks in the banks. How could that be justice? How could they be so removed and above political and human...

Order of Business (19 Feb 2014)

Mattie McGrath: ...gave them a fuel rebate last year and they appreciate that. Also, with regard to the consumer protection Bill, can anything be done about the plight of the 13,000 families who are under threat from IBRC and the former Irish Nationwide Building Society? It is a perilous situation and something should be done under some legislative measure.

Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (15 May 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...I am talking about it was millions and billions that were moved in and out of accounts before the books were done. Lo and behold, we find the accountancy firms that were helping out have now been appointed under the IBRC Bill to look after the winding up of those two banks. Reference was made to the multi-annual fund. The first time I heard of it was at a meeting of South Tipperary...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 May 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...I crossed the floor to speak to the Taoiseach, Deputy Kenny, and the Minister, Deputy Noonan. I told them what they had done to Seán Quinn and the other people who had court cases pending against IBRC that they could not continue because of that legislation. Any eejit would know that. A person has a right to go to court but we simply banished that right. Thankfully, Seán...

Companies Bill 2012: Second Stage (23 Apr 2013)

Mattie McGrath: .... I would say 90% of receivers are out to rape businesses and they make a fortune out of it. That is totally wrong and disgusting, especially when some of the companies involved were advisers to Anglo Irish Bank, the IBRC. Now they are receivers. The workers who were in the former Anglo Irish Bank, the IBRC, to help the receivers obtain the loans back from people who should not have...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...and bank chairman. What we did was to increase their wages and bend or broke the rules to allow this despite the promises made. Consider how the staff of the former Anglo Irish Bank and the IBRC have been treated. They are badly needed to help the receiver follow the money and the wrongs done, but they are in a bitter dispute because they were promised by the Government that they would...

Credit Reporting Bill 2012: Second Stage (28 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...today. A bit of sunshine at this spring time and then it was gone. The Spring tides and the Gilmore tides might be well gone. The tide has turned. As the Minister said, after the liquidation of IBRC, the boat has left the shore. It has left the shore. I saw more reckless behaviour the night the Minister came into this House and introduced the legislation to wind up IBRC. I challenged...

Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (7 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...in this House. Why did this take nearly 12 months, if it is so urgent today? It was in the Seanad a month ago. I accept there are difficulties here, with the Finance Bill and other Bills and the IBRC issues and the so-called promissory notes, but it took a month to be presented here after its passage by the Seanad. Why was there such a delay and how long more will it be delayed if the...

Water Services Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ...to these chancers. I use the term because the company is not fit to do the job, although those involved can make the right moves and sounds if there is an interview or tender process. Was it the same last week when the Government finally closed down IBRC and appointed receivers on the spot with no tender process? The receivers will be allowed to charge what they like. On the same day...

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)

Mattie McGrath: ..., it has serious and profound consequences. Their rights and entitlements need to be spelled out. As we speak, negotiations are taking place on the Croke Park agreement. The employees of IBRC have rights and entitlements and have been effectively working for the State in recent years. The Government must take a much more interventionist approach than we have witnessed to date.

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Feb 2013)

Mattie McGrath: Section 4 provides for the making of a special liquidation order. Section 6 provides that there shall be an immediate stay on all proceedings against IBRC, other than regulatory or criminal proceedings, and that no further actions or proceedings can be issued against IBRC without the consent of the High Court. I wish to propose an amendment there that would include the words, "That all...
