John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

Before the general election, the Department of Finance was in the process of drafting legislation to wind down IBRC and a discussion was held at the finance committee regarding the Butler family, who had difficulties with their particular loan and circumstances. I note that the draft legislation suggests that the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman, and the complaints that that office has, will be transferred to a resolution office. Will the Taoiseach ensure that the outstanding cases before the FSPO or the Central Bank are included for consideration before the IBRC special liquidator is wound down? It is essential that those who are claiming fraud and misconduct are heard and the Central Bank is aware of that particular case.
