Joe McHugh
Ceist:115 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance his views on whether false assumptions obtaining between 2000 and 2007 about consumer income, long-term economic productivity and consumer behaviour resulted in the collapse of the Irish banking system; his further views on whether the various bank guarantee schemes and bank bailouts, including budget 2011 introduced by the Government, in effect transfer credit institutions’ liabilities onto the State; if a logical continuation of this principle requires credit institutions to enter into debt clemency agreements with creditors whose 2000 to 2007 investments were based on the same false assumptions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
