Deputy Enda Kenny: Is there anecdotal evidence of outflows of finance from financial insti- tutions regulated in this country but that are not part of the guarantee to the six financial institutions in respect of the Bill going through? I am aware of the complications about this, but will the Ta´naiste say whether the Government is aware of this from the Central Bank or the Financial Regulator. I recognise the complications about relevance to other jurisdictions and not having to take on activities there. The Ta´naiste: As the Minister for Finance indicated last night at the end of the Second Stage discussion, through the legislation we will discuss later this morning and this afternoon, there will be facilitation in the event of any competitive distortions. The Financial Regulator is moni- toring the balance of flows between institutions and his job is to maintain a stable banking environment. Any further decisions will be made on the basis of that information to the Mini- ster for Finance. Deputy Enda Kenny: Yesterday I made the point that this is about a stable banking system, not protection of management. A number of financial institutions licensed and incorporated in Ireland and whose liquidity, capital and solvency are regulated in Ireland are not part of the guarantee system. Has the Government considered a mechanism for ring-fencing the Irish activities of those financial institutions to keep a competitive playing pitch for financial activi- ties? Is the Government in a position to do that on the basis of all those activities being regulated here but a number of those institutions not being part of the guarantee to the six financial institutions mentioned in the Bill? What does the Government propose to do about that? The Ta´naiste: All the institutions are included in the \100,000 guarantee. We are aware of concerns being expressed. On the basis of financial instability or if there was a difficulty with the balance of flow between institutions, the Financial Regulator will inform the Minister for Finance. The Minister has indicated in the broad parts of the legislation available to him that on the basis of that information there is an instrument available to him to allow him to deal with that. It would be appropriate for that to be teased out in the context of the discussions we will have here later this morning. There is enablement in the legislation in the event of those issues having to be addressed. 277 Leaders’ 1 October 2008. Questions Deputy Eamon Gilmore: Many people, at some stage in their lives, have been approached by a family member, friend or business colleague who has asked them to be guarantor for a bank loan. Most people would be cautious and reluctant to do that and would want a certain amount of basic information before going to the bank and signing a guarantee for somebody, no matter how close they are to the person. People would want to know how much they were guaranteeing, the conditions attached to it and a little about how the person for whom they were going guarantor would behave financially afterwards. They would certainly read the small print of the guarantee very closely. This country is being asked to go guarantor for the banks and in effect we are being asked put up the deeds of the country as security in doing so. Today on Committee Stage we will go through the small print of what that guarantee amounts to. Several issues regarding the Bill presented yesterday and the small print are of very serious concern to the Labour Party. I want to highlight some of those and perhaps the Ta´naiste will answer them. How much are we being asked to guarantee? Figures floating around have ranged from \300 billion to \500 billion. When I asked the Taoiseach about it yesterday he suggested to the House that this would never be called in, that no payment would ever be required from the taxpayer for this guarantee. Yet, the Bill explicitly provides for payment and there is a Financial Resolution before the House that requires for payment from the Exchequer. What exactly are we being asked to guarantee? In the Bill there seems to be no limit. What charge will the banks pay for this comfort with which they are being provided? We are told there will be a charge, but no charge is specified in the Bill. The charge applies only if the guarantee is called in. It is like having an insurance policy where one has to pay the premium only on the day one makes a claim. What is this charge and how will it apply? What are the exact conditions? In the Bill, we are being asked to sign up to the guarantee of which we will be told the conditions later. The Minister for Finance will introduce a scheme before the House and it will apply provided we do not annul it within 21 days. We need to have the conditions of this guarantee upfront and known to us before the Bill is passed and before it comes into effect. We know that the top executives of the banks have been paying themselves in millions. Will any limits, restrictions or constraints be put on the continuing arrangements for top executive reward in the banks? These are among the issues addressed in a series of amendments to the Bill by the Labour Party. How the Government responds to those amendments will determine whether the Labour Party will support this Bill. I want clear answers. I want to know how much we are being asked to guarantee, what the banks will pay for the comfort, whether we will see the exact conditions before the guarantee is signed and whether the Government will allow top executives of the banks to keep their fists in the till. The Ta´naiste: It is appropriate to say that Members facilitated Second Stage late last night. We are all very anxious to bring the legislation to finality today if at all possible. We can discuss the timeframe for that in due course. It is also important to say why we are here. It is to give legislative back-up to a principled decision made by the Government yesterday. It is important to see that and bring it to finality as quickly as possible. On the specific issues raised, as the Deputy is aware, this is broad enabling legislation. Regarding a fee, as the Minister for Finance indicated last night, that is a matter for discussion with the Central Bank, which will determine what the fee will be. It is important to reiterate that this facilitates banks in the case of an event happening. We are facilitating a guarantee that we hope will never have to be called in. That is the aspiration of all of us in the House. 278 Leaders’ 1 October 2008. Questions I appreciate that the Labour Party put questions to me in the context of the amendments set down but it would be more appropriate to discuss them in the context of the debate on Committee Stage of the legislation, where we can tease out these issues and adhere to parliamentary democracy and where the Minister for Finance can answer them to the best of his ability. This is broad enabling legislation to provide a legislative framework to a principled decision made by the Government yesterday. Deputy Eamon Gilmore: My questions go to the heart of the issue. What are we being asked to guarantee? No Member of the House or member of the public would walk into a bank and sign a guarantee for anybody, even a close member of the family, without knowing how much he or she is going to guarantee, and they would certainly not sign it in circumstances where it was open-ended, with no limit to the guarantee. Frankly, the Labour Party is not prepared to do with the taxpayers’ money what it would not be prepared to do with personal money. We need to know exactly what we are signing up to. The Ta´naiste tells us this is a broad enabling measure, which means a blank cheque. It is a blank cheque for the banks, a blank legislative cheque to grant the Government enabling provisions to look after the situation and, in the case of this Government, it is an inappropriate blank cheque to give a Government that thought, three years ago when the Taoiseach was Minister for Finance, that the country was so flush with money that it could abolish the bank levy.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.
