Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

As the Tánaiste is aware, the Financial Services Ombudsman, Bill Prasifka, has confirmed that almost 7,300 complaints were received by his office in 2011. He has called for additional powers to publish the complaints record of individual financial institutions. We have published a simple legislative amendment which would give him this power and I will move it during Private Members' time as soon as I can. Will the Government be openminded about such a change?
