Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-24
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I will come back to the Deputy if I have any news on that.
I would have to say the same to Deputy Tully. I will have to provide a written reply. I will ask the relevant Minister to provide an assessment. I do not have the figures here in front of me. I will forward the question to the Minister and ask that he replies.
Lastly, I agree with Deputy Nash. I refer to the problem in the Irish banking sector in the past 40 or 50 years. It is not a recent phenomenon. There has been a range of instances dating right back where lax standards in character, culture and tolerance of failings have bedevilled Irish banking and that needs to change. I am not aware of what the Minister, Deputy Donohoe's proposals were with regard to monitoring and policing standards in that area but white-collar crime cannot pay. We must make sure that such crime is seen to be treated in the same way as if someone was robbing in a different way. I do not have the particular legislative measure but I will try to find out and respond.
