- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of IBRC: Discussion (31 Oct 2012)
Aideen Hayden: Okay. Before I ask a further question about the MARS process, I would love to know how many write-downs have been given to high value or high profile borrowers. Perhaps the witnesses can tell us how many write-downs are given to them.

Aideen Hayden: I will go back to the MARS. I understand the bank is in the process of rolling out the strategy. Will the bank publish its MARS solutions on its website? One of the difficulties borrowers have is a lack of clarity on what they have, or will have, available to them. The witnesses have said the strategy will be rolled out in accordance with the timelines agreed by the Financial Regulator....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of IBRC: Discussion (31 Oct 2012)
Aideen Hayden: My question pertains to the buy-to-let market. While I am aware that IBRC's loan book is more biased in favour of the domestic standard home mortgage, to carry on with this point, it has come to my attention a number of times that the behaviour of receivers, where a property has been possessed, towards tenants has not been to treat them as though it is a landlord-tenant relationship but...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Nov 2012)
Aideen Hayden: On the matter raised by Senator Mullen, one of the strengths of this House is that it represents a broad perspective in society. The matters he raised are matters of public health. I support the calls for a debate in this House on women?s health in particular. The issues the Senator raised specifically relate to women?s health. I am aware from my legal practice that certain clients I...
- Seanad: Social Welfare Appeals System: Motion (7 Nov 2012)
Aideen Hayden: I disagree with my esteemed colleague, Senator Barrett. In times of recession when one has less to spend, the importance of openness and transparency in how people get those limited resources is even more critical. I thank my Independent colleagues for introducing this important motion. While it addresses the Department of Social Protection appeals process, its thrust applies to other...
- Seanad: Social Welfare Appeals System: Motion (7 Nov 2012)
Aideen Hayden: I wish to finish with one important point. I became concerned when I heard that the volume of oral hearings had diminished. One important statistic has been highlighted relating to the number of decisions overturned at oral hearings versus the number of decisions overturned at summary hearings. This is no surprise. When a person comes to an oral hearing he or she is able to give the full...
- Seanad: Public Expenditure and Reform: Statements (8 Nov 2012)
Aideen Hayden: I welcome the Minister to the House. I support the comments of my colleague Senator Mac Conghail. There is a tendency among all Departments, whether it is intentional, to centralise power unto themselves. It is a bit like sucking everything back into the mothership. When it comes to matters of culture, in particular, and matters in which independence of mind and creativity are involved,...
- Seanad: Public Expenditure and Reform: Statements (8 Nov 2012)
Aideen Hayden: From my experience of being involved with the public service, some of the difficulties that have been overcome have been around the changes in work practices rather than savings in the number of public servants who are no longer within the system. It is very easy to gloss over the kind of work practice changes the Minister outlined on rostering and holidays. However, there are wider issues...
