Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Bi-annual Review 2013: Financial Services Ombudsman

2:30 pm

Mr. William Prasifka:

Included are complaints outside of our jurisdiction because of time and the six year rule. It also includes other issues. It could be complaints that are not about regulated service providers. The main reason is the six year rule. We made some calculations that in the past year we could not deal with approximately 1,000 complaints because of the six year rule.
