Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Property Services Appeal Board: Chairperson Designate

Ms Dorothy Donovan:

No. The ones we receive would be more general rather than specific. Generally, they are matters between the registered owner and the receiver or between the parties and their lender, as opposed to the auctioneer, who is appointed. Remember that when an auctioneer is appointed by the receiver, the receiver is the auctioneer's client, and the auctioneer's duty under our Act is to act in the best interest of his or her client.
