Credit Union Restructuring Board (Dissolution) Bill 2019: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Mar 2019)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...of weeks, perhaps, to meet the deferred deadline. Will it be ready? Importantly, will it be in line with Central Bank regulations? ReBo has served its purpose. It can be wound down. Thankfully, it never became a NAMA, either in the public mind or in reality, because, unlike the banks, the credit unions have a culture that is about sustainability and community. As a proud and, may I...

Housing Provision: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Sep 2014)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...described the plight of a family accommodated in a hotel room near the airport who have to cross the city five days a week to bring their children to school on the south side of the city. Another colleague has described the plight of tenants priced out of the market by landlords who are in NAMA. This is the same NAMA that is supposed to be releasing housing stock for social housing....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Closure of Mount Carmel Hospital: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: On St. James' interest in the Mount Carmel facility, I asked specifically about HSE discussions with NAMA that had not been advised to St. James’s. I have been advised that the HSE voices endeavoured to present themselves as speaking for St. James’s. There is a serious matter there. I have asked the Minister whether he will address this matter and explore the detail of this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Closure of Mount Carmel Hospital: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...; and a range of surgical procedures that were carried out at that hospital. Only a proportion of the 130 beds in the facility were designated for maternity purposes. As regards the role of NAMA in all of this, my understanding was that it had a social responsibility but it does not appear to have employed it in this particular instance. I am told that St. James's Hospital had plans...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Closure of Mount Carmel Hospital: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...to engage with the Minister directly after this meeting. What the witnesses have shared with us will be very helpful in preparing for it. I join Deputy Kelleher in expressing disappointment that NAMA did not feel it appropriate to come before the committee. It is most regrettable. NAMA certainly has questions to answer and we will have to explore them in another way. The lamentable...

Private Members' Business. National Monuments: Motion (22 May 2012)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...with a historic monument which stands registered in the Register of Historic Monuments under section 5 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act". The developer in question is insolvent and in NAMA, a State agency with a direct responsibility to the people of this State. Does the Government seriously hold out the prospect of a busted developer on a NAMA life support machine suing the...

Review of Serious Incidents including Deaths of Children in Care: Statements (17 Nov 2011)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: .... We have placed great faith in the Minister's ability to argue her corner in seeking a share of the Exchequer cake for the coming year. For example, in October, it was revealed by the heads of NAMA to the Committee of Public Accounts that up to 120 developers are being paid directly by NAMA, with two of them getting €200,000 per annum. It is staggering. NAMA's own chief executive is...

Departmental Staff (12 Jan 2011)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...and the social welfare (miscellaneous provisions) Bill. Everything is predicated on how long the Dáil will proceed. If, as the opening remarks of the Taoiseach indicate, we are to arrive at the NAMA (amendment) Bill, which the Taoiseach is strongly of a mind to pass, that is not what the document states. It appears the Government partners are only agreed on a specific number. Perhaps...

Written Answers — National Asset Management Agency: National Asset Management Agency (12 Jan 2011)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...91: To ask the Minister for Finance the number of National Asset Management Agency bonds that have been issued to date; the terms of same; the maturity of these bonds; the proportion of these NAMA bonds that are subordinated; the number of NAMA bonds that are envisaged for issue in total; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1411/11]

Freedom of Information (30 Nov 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: We addressed these questions last February. At the time I called on the Taoiseach to comment with regard to the view that the banks had lobbied strongly, and apparently successfully, not to have NAMA included under the Freedom of Information Act. The record shows the Taoiseach indicated at the time that there was no evidence of this and that the Taoiseach's view was that it should not be...

Freedom of Information (30 Nov 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Has the Taoiseach noted the evidence given by the representatives of NAMA to the Committee of Public Accounts in recent weeks in which they indicated that the banks had been supplying them with false information? Surely, this is a serious matter.

Freedom of Information (30 Nov 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach spoke about confidence in the banking system but people have no confidence in it. We need certainty. This proposal would not disadvantage the banking institutions or NAMA. There is basic information which should be readily available, I believe, given the banks are now, to all intents and purposes, State institutions and we are bailing them out at enormous cost.

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...Minister and his Cabinet colleagues have refused to learn the lesson of their failed strategy and are sending the Irish people over the top once again into no-man's land – perhaps it should be NAMA land – to be cannon fodder for the banks, the ECB and the IMF. Shame on the Minister and the Government. Despite the Minister for Finance's appeals, and the appeals of the Taoiseach and the...

Issue of Writ: Donegal South-West By-election (4 Nov 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...repeat of the continual deferment in order to suit the political decision of the Government of the day. The Government has no mandate for what it has done and is doing in terms of the bank bailout, NAMA, the savage cuts and the doomed budgetary approach that is going to further depress the economy. It has been desperately trying to avoid any chance for the people to deliver their verdict,...

Macro-Economic and Fiscal Outlook: Statements (27 Oct 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...as follows - a total of 450,000 people are now out of work; a total of 100,000 more will have emigrated by next year; tax revenues have collapsed; almost €90 billion between recapitalisation and NAMA has been promised to bail out the banks; the interest rates being paid by the Irish Government on the international bond market are three times those paid by Germany. This Government is...

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (Resumed) (5 Oct 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...have no faith in what this Government is doing and they are being denied a say. Over the next decade, banks will be recapitalised to the tune of €50 billion in taxpayers' money will be put into NAMA operations. The events of recent weeks smack of increasing desperation by the Government. First, we had the farce of the announcement of Anglo Irish Bank being split into a bad bank and a...

Issue of Writs: Dublin South, Waterford and Donegal South-West By-elections (29 Sep 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...and to the people of the State as a whole. This Fianna Fáil and Green Party Government has no mandate for its savage cuts to public services, no mandate for the bank bailout and no mandate for NAMA. Fianna Fáil was elected on the basis of the lie that its economic policies would prolong the Celtic tiger era and that the property madness would end not in a crash but in a soft landing....

Order of Business (8 Jul 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: It has no mandate for what it has rammed through the House over the past 12 months in particular - severe budget cuts, NAMA and a €22.5 billion deposit into a black hole called the Anglo Irish Bank. The list is endless and the record of this Government is shameless. What we want is not a proposal to recess until 29 September but this Government to face the fact that it has no mandate to...

Tourism Industry: Motion (22 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...other economies strengthen. That would constitute a major boost to a large indigenous industry and the overall economy. There is also the potential timebomb represented by the intervention of NAMA in the hotel sector and the existence of so-called zombie hotels, which add more beds to an already oversupplied market and which threaten to distort that market further. That is one more...

Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...the Government has nationalised one of the most corrupt banks in the world, Anglo Irish Bank; awarded a €1 million pension to the former CEO of Irish Nationwide, Michael Fingleton; established NAMA to buy €54 billion worth of bad loans that are probably worth much less; and recapitalised several banks to the tune of billions of euro, with the result that AIB is all but nationalised....
