Seanad: Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Statements (2 Feb 2016)

Aideen Hayden: ...rises without reference to any revenue they can bring in, that is normally an indicator of a bubble. We need to keep a watch on such indicators and keep them highly visible, so that our regulators will feel the due pressure to take action before it is too late the next time around. There was consideration of the role of NAMA. It is very important to consider that NAMA has an important...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK Reform Negotiations: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)

Aideen Hayden: ...referendum be more in our interests? I take Deputy Crowe's point about fear being a part of the issue. I am concerned that much of the narrative in the UK describes people as wanting to go and feeling that they would be better off because of sovereignty and "Rule, Britannia" without showing many of the downsides that would result from an exit. From what I have seen in the British media,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Terror Attacks in Paris: Discussion (26 Nov 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...of our young people but there is also a need to respond. There must be a strong security response in respect of these attacks. Europe survives by being an open, multicultural society where people feel confident in walking the streets. That is something we have to protect and preserve. However, we also need to recognise that we need to respond externally and not only in terms of bombing...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...2005. This anniversary is almost in the same week as the horrific events in Tunisia. It behoves us to remember what the word terror means. It means putting fear into the hearts of people. I feel very much for the people of Tunisia who fought very hard for their democracy and now see it fading from them as international tourists abandon Tunisia, which is totally understandable.. It is...

Seanad: Consumer Protection (Regulation of Credit Servicing Firms) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (2 Jul 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...intends to repay the loan in the longer term, or if one does not update it on one's current financial situation, one is in default. That is not the case. I am concerned that a number of people feel they are being pushed towards an early redemption of their mortgage in circumstances in which lenders no longer wish to be engaged in the Irish market. It is an issue that I will be keeping...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Permanent TSB (13 May 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...exists. It is not my perception because it is my personal experience that the courts are now being used in a way that they have not been historically by lending institutions. There is more than a feeling that now that the market has improved and house prices have risen, people who were previously unable to get someone at the end of a phone are finding themselves getting letters informing...

Seanad: Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (24 Mar 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...parents. Poverty matters, and that should be kept to the forefront when we are considering the rights of the child. As a member of the Constitutional Convention, I have found that many families do not feel involved and wanted in today's Ireland. The Constitution defines the family as being based on the institution of marriage - or rather, it has been interpreted as such by the courts....

Seanad: Gender Recognition Bill 2014: Second Stage (21 Jan 2015)

Aideen Hayden: ...skirt and listen to people refer to me as a girl. I had to hide who I was every moment of my day in school. This is not an experience that every trans child survives - knowing who you are but not feeling you can do anything about it. Often with the support of their parents [many transgender children] come out to their teachers and principals and hope that these adults in their lives...

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Dec 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...be heard next week. I am sure that case will cast a light on where we stand in respect of the protection of life during pregnancy legislation. As a mother of two daughters in their early 20s, I feel for this family. They have not only lost a daughter but they are also unable to grieve while they await a decision in the courts. I thank the Leader for giving his commitment on arranging a...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2014: Second Stage (4 Dec 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...,000 on it in two years. That is bad law. It is bad law to change an overall provision for a ridiculous exception. This measure is not clear, it is not transparent, it is not enforceable and it is anti-family. The vast majority of parents feel a responsibility for their child and will support him or her to the best of their abilities. A sum of €3,000 would go nowhere towards...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Nov 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ----- and the 4.7% growth announced yesterday, there are many people who are not feeling the benefit of this uplift whatsoever. Many of those people who are at the coal face of repossession are perhaps the most vulnerable. There are those who have experienced homelessness as a result of having their homes repossessed. I ask that we have an urgent debate in this House on the issue of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Budget 2015: Department of Finance (7 Oct 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...economy's recovery is more relevant than the export market to the improvement in domestic demand. In relation to our eurozone partners and their impact on our growth, to what extent do you feel that the improvement in domestic demand may be to some extent due to the success of lowering of the European Central Bank rates, given that, for the sake of argument, 75% of our mortgage market is...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Oct 2014)

Aideen Hayden: I feel a certain sense of déjà vu. I think I am listening to the same speeches from the Opposition that I heard yesterday and last Thursday, and I will probably hear the same speeches tomorrow.

Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...less than perfect, and to uphold it. Undoubtedly, the situation in Israel and Palestine seems insurmountable. Israel, in its view, is surrounded by enemies. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank feel oppressed by an Israel that far outweighs them militarily. Until we have a solution to the overriding issue of securing both populations - we must acknowledge this is about securing the...

Seanad: Racism in Ireland: Motion (4 Jun 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...of Ireland stated: "...worryingly, 40% of the reported incidents so far this year relate to attacks on the family home or in a person’s local community." We must be aware that people need to feel safe in their own homes. We also need to look at all of the legislation, across the board, to proof it for racism. I want to ask the Minister of State about the Equal Status Acts 2000...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (Resumed): Insolvency Service of Ireland (30 Apr 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...years in some cases. I note the comments by the Chairman that Irish people are reluctant to go towards bankruptcy. Have we gone far enough in liberalising bankruptcy laws? How do the witnesses feel about reducing the term of bankruptcy from three years to one year? Do we need to take more steps to make bankruptcy more attractive? One year is the term in another jurisdiction very...

Seanad: An Update on Situation in Ukraine: Statements (17 Apr 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...that what we are seeing in eastern parts of the Ukraine, such as Kharkiv and Donetsk, is that locals are trying to separate not due to some plot orchestrated by Moscow but because they do not feel the Government in Kiev is protecting them from ethnic violence. Whether we believe Russia has desires to annex more of the Ukraine, or simply wants to protect its interests in the Black Sea, or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Bank of Ireland (10 Apr 2014)

Aideen Hayden: ...what AIB or EBS have done in appointing the Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation on an independent basis, funding it in assisting the bank's customers in dealing with the bank? Alternatively, how would he feel about a bank levy to set up a national, independent and expert service to act at arm's length between a bank and its customers?
