- 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)
Pearse Doherty: Fáilte go dtí an coiste. Welcome to the committee. Some ground has been covered by my colleagues. I thank the Financial Services Union representatives for appearing before the committee. I wish to put on record again my appreciation and that of my party for the work the union does in the financial sector. It is an example of the benefits that come with greater trade union...
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: Are they historical figures or have we seen in recent weeks and months large numbers of people leaving, particularly the receiving banks? I would be more concerned about Bank of Ireland and AIB. Are we seeing people being let go from those banks?
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: We have heard that banks are finding it difficult to recruit as they are so far behind the curve. Some of this was sudden, particularly with KBC, but it is not sudden anymore. We have known of the trajectory for almost a year. Even before Ulster Bank's announcement, there were serious concerns that this was a likelihood. So why are banks not redeploying staff if they are letting people...
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: I know it is difficult to pinpoint what is happening with staffing. These questions were asked last week and we may not have been given an accurate picture of redundancies. The committee should write detailed letters to all five institutions asking about their staffing levels and the type of staff they have in place at various points over the past 18 months to provide a greater...

- 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)
Pearse Doherty: That is a massive drop in the staff based on the numbers which they have given us, which I presume are the nice numbers, of temporary and contract positions. They do not come anywhere near those. Some banks are talking about 70 additional staff, which is a drop in the ocean. Will the witnesses explain what is happening for customers of Ulster Bank who go into a branch of a receiving bank to...
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: I strongly believe the Central Bank has a role here. This committee engages with the Central Bank and we have seen an approach from it, which is playing out in public, that is to be welcomed. It is one thing to issue statements and do round tables with CEOs to say they are not ready, but it should not allow KBC to issue letters until it is ready. It should not have happened with Ulster...
