Mr. Padraic Kissane:

It is a similar situation to that pertaining to staff in Bank of Ireland. It is difficult. The staff are in a peculiar position because they are not only challenging their bank but also their employer. It is a unique position in that regard. It is difficult too for the staff of Bank of Ireland who have been granted redress because in terms of submitting appeals, they are essentially writing to work colleagues with their issues. The staff issue is one that I will be bringing up with the institutions, although I have not spent as much time on it as I have on the broader issues. More investigative work will probably be required before I can be certain about where I can challenge them on this issue. That said, there is certainly an issue to be addressed.
