Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There are regulators to which the companies are responsible, but there is no regulator in Ireland to do that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Why, then, are the companies represented here not engaging with any regulator here, even if ComReg does not have responsibility for it? Are they engaging with anybody? Are the witnesses surprised that there is no regulator here?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay, so there is just no regulation here but there is a regulator in Britain, so that is treated differently.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: No. The Central Bank said that responsibility for regulation of online platforms resides with ComReg, but then, when we as a committee questioned ComReg on that, ComReg said that its remit does not extend to recording, investigating or combating fraud.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, but there is no engagement here either with the Central Bank, the Government or any of the financial institutions on APP fraud. So it is all happening globally but it does not happen here. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There a formal platform for agencies to get together to discuss things.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The main message from tonight is that that needs to be done. I appreciate there is a willingness to do that but it must be driven by Government. Passing the buck from the Central Bank to ComReg does not help us solve the problem before us and the problems that will exist in the future, particularly as AI advances and exposes more people to fraud.

Rose Conway-Walsh: Has there ever been any sanctions?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: No, not on that one but on anything else. With different engagement, regulators and so on, have social media companies ever been sanctioned?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I understand and will leave my questions at that.

Rose Conway-Walsh: If I report to Meta today that money has been extracted illegally from me and a crime has been committed, what does Meta do?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What is Meta's relationship with the banks then?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Has there been any sanctions for payment regarding fraudulent advertisements to extract money from people, if advertisements are not taken down in time or if proper procedures are not followed in terms of applying that?

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Rural Independent Group for bringing forward this important motion. Imagine being a young person growing up in one of the wealthiest countries in the world and being unable to afford to get a place to live or unable to get a driving licence. Is this really how we are treating young people? Is it any wonder they are emigrating in their droves? I completely acknowledge that the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Engagement: Economic and Social Research Institute (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Dr. Doorley and Dr. Tuda for their statements and analysis of the budget. It is useful for us here in trying to weed it all out. In their opening statement, they say that there is a result in the reduction of the at-risk-of-poverty rate for most groups. Are there any other groups besides the elderly that do not see a reduction in the at-risk-of-poverty rate? I want to speak about...
