Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Ulster Bank

Mr. Stephen Bell:
Absolutely. As part of the mortgage arrears process and in the event that a customer took the view that the arrangement he was offered was unfair, he has a statutory right to appeal. He could appeal to an independent body within the bank which then looks at the circumstances of the case. The levels of appeals that we have experienced within Ulster Bank Ireland Ltd. have been extraordinarily low. We take this as a sign that the customer is broadly happy with the proposal that has been made.
