Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Mr. Larry Broderick:
No. The majority do not and I will say why. We have tried to tease it out but there is a fear factor here. Even by going to the union they feel to some extent that they will be singled out and dressed down. We must use other surveillance on the ground to engage more and see how we can address these issues. We do not need whistleblowers to tell us that this is going on. We have raised the issues with the banks anyway in terms of their behaviour. There is this fear factor, however, that is germane to people who have contacted us.
