Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: We hear multiple experiences of people trying to transition from one bank to another, and Mr. O'Connell mentioned people being given different advice from the banks on what to do. Is there any tracking of the transition time? How long is it taking for someone to move from having an account with KBC or Ulster Bank to having one with one of the other banks?

Peadar Tóibín: Is there any official role in this process for the FSU? It is the representative of workers within the sector. Is it feeding in to the process in an official capacity at the level of senior banking management?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: In other words, FSU has represented and engaged as best it could but there is no official structure which puts its knowledge at the centre of the process.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Given the chaos there seems to be in this whole process, it is shocking that the representatives of staff, who are carrying the can and who, according to the FSU's research, are suffering significantly due to the pressure being put on them, do not have an official role in leading this process. In the view of the FSU, how long should the proposed exits be postponed to make sure they are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The issue of debts and overdrafts is obviously a big one. Many people - I would say nearly the majority at this stage - are living from overdraft to overdraft because of the cost-of-living crisis. Very few people are covering all of their costs every month without having to dip into some level of overdraft. Those overdrafts are typically secured from people's existing banks due to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Sure. I have one last question. It relates to cash. With regard to the practice of banks retreating from physical banking, which I believe is the result of their profit-oriented nature and comes at a cost to communities and customers, are the banks taking a similar attitude towards cash? Have they decided, based on a cost-benefit analysis, that it is better for there to be less cash in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market (Resumed): Engagement with Financial Services Union and Electric Ireland (25 May 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Mr. O'Connell mentioned the New Zealand system. Kiwibank, which is a public bank accessed through post offices, resulted in a great increase in competition within New Zealand's banking system. Its introduction had a very health effect on the functioning of New Zealand's banking system while also making its post offices profitable and functional, allowing more to stay open. The banking...
