Noonan share price claims over Fianna Fáil bill ‘are nonsense’

Claims by Finance Minister Michael Noonan that a Fianna Fáil bill caused a 10% drop in bank share prices were described as “nonsense” at an Oireachtas committee yesterday.

Mr Noonan made his comments after the bill, which seeks to help people with their mortgage repayments, was published.

But opposition TDs rounded on Mr Noonan but he stood over his comments.
