Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Scrutiny: Minister for Finance (17 Sep 2019)

Pearse Doherty: The €5 billion figure comes from the summer economic statement which shows a range of 0.5% to 1.5%. I am using the figures the Minister presented in the summer economic statement which show there is the potential for a deficit of €5 billion in year one. The question for the Committee on Budgetary Oversight is about the amount. I do not expect the Minister to answer to the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Minister for Finance (3 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...on tax is to seek clarification. We are well used to budget day surprises such as close to €1 billion being found from somewhere. As mentioned earlier, the Taoiseach said there will be a €600 million tax package in this year's budget and that he will still have €3 billion to spend. I do not know where he will get the other €800 million from? Is he picking...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Double Taxation Relief Orders 2019, Swiss Confederation and Kingdom of the Netherlands (2 Jul 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...this could have increased throughput into the shop as somebody might come in for a mass card but get a loaf of bread at the same time. The arrangements I am talking about are not about paying €5 to show sympathy and respect for somebody who has passed away but the hundreds of millions of euro in convoluted schemes that allow assets to be transferred offshore, with loans generated...

Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (25 Jun 2019)

Pearse Doherty: The reality is that the €700 million decreases to €400 million if the Minister commits to pay the Christmas bonus again in 2020. The other issue that is very clear is that an overrun is projected in health. All the indicators, which mirror those we have seen in previous years, show that there will be another significant overrun in health. Has the Minister factored that in?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Costs for Small and Medium Businesses: Discussion (4 Apr 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...needs to be addressed, I do not believe the insurance sector will reduce premiums accordingly. I do not trust the industry in which I believe a cartel is operating. Ms Murray's example of €5 million in premiums and €1 million in reserves shows that price gouging is taking place. In his opening statement, Mr. Boland spoke about the commitment by insurers to reduce prices...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Permanent TSB Mortgage Loans: Discussion (6 Dec 2018)

Finance Bill 2018: Second Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Pearse Doherty: .... There was nothing in this budget which showed we learned from our past mistakes. There was nothing in this budget for renters, the low paid or those living week to week. Income tax and USC cuts this year will amount to €284 million. That is €284 million that the Government and Fianna Fáil say is not needed for our health services, childcare or building houses...

Summer Economic Statement 2018: Statements (20 Jun 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...nothing that can be done for them. We reject this message. We reject it as a reckless choice of Fine Gael just as we rejected the Government's proposal to abolish the USC, which would have left a €5 billion hole in the public purse, or indeed Fianna Fáil's proposal, which would have left a hole of over €3 billion in the public purse. We completely reject the argument...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (10 May 2018)

Pearse Doherty: When Ulster Bank closed services to its customers in 2012 or so, it went on for six weeks and the fine was €5 million. I think that speaks volumes. Now we see that money has disappeared completely from people's accounts. I imagine that there will be an investigation and, hopefully, there will be a response at the end of it. Can I put a specific question that was put to me by...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...who has recognised that the SCU was an error made by Fine Gael. The spin is continuing. A number of claims were made by the Taoiseach. He said that it was cost-neutral. We now know it cost €5 million. He said that it would be at arm's length from the Taoiseach's office, yet from freedom of information requests which have now been published by Hugh O'Connell and others we now...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...first revealed the Government’s plans to establish the SCU that the unit will be cost neutral to the Exchequer. These were the bold claims made by the Taoiseach before it turned out that, in fact, the unit would cost some €5 million this year and every other year. Other claims were then made about the wholesome and ethical nature of the unit and they have proven to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Central Bank of Ireland (18 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...for their actions. This point was made by a predecessor of Professor Lane on leaving his role in the Central Bank, and I agree with it. They nearly got away with this. The figure is €900 million at the minute but if they got away with, it could have been more than €1.5 billion because of the duration they would have been overcharging these customers. With regard to the...

Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (24 Oct 2017)

Pearse Doherty: ...for residential development. By allowing landowners to cash in on this land and property years early, the Finance Bill is creating a bonanza for certain speculators. We discussed how it is the €5 budget but certain individuals who were planning to sell major commercial buildings next year did not get €5, they got millions of euro as a result of not having to pay any CGT....
