Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland

Professor Philip Lane:

It is a matter of the push-back. We are saying in our report that the reports were inadequate in a number of cases and have required a to-and-fro exercise, all in the direction of making them better. The reports were submitted and we said in our report that some banks should have done a much better job in terms of specifying more generous redress and compensation schemes, appeals mechanisms and so on. Those phase two reports that were submitted have required a lot of push-back from us to bring the banks along with a view to making better schemes. The delay is because we did not accept the banks' initial proposals. The delay, as we have indicated in our report, is where we do not accept the original proposals made by the banks.
