General Scheme of Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman Bill 2016 and Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Ger Deering:

I do know if anybody will ever have enough resources. We are like every other body, in that we are trying to manage with the resources we have. The office dealt with a tsunami of complaints four or five years ago, the legacy of which we are still dealing with. We would like to have some time to work our way through our new processes before we say what resources are required. For the moment, we are managing with what we have. It will be next year before we can say what resources are required.
