Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Banking Sector: Bank of Ireland (5 Nov 2014)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functions: National Asset Management Agency (22 Oct 2014)

Pat Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy. Do the same considerations in respect of the upward-only rents decision apply now as applied at the nadir of our fortunes in the winter of 2010 and 2011?
