Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom comhbhrón a dhéanamh le Mary, Joan, Emer, Lisa agus Rory, leis an ngarchlann, na deirfiúracha agus na cliamhaineacha ar bhás Noel. Tá an-áthas orm go bhfuil deis agam cúpla focal a rá anseo inniu in ómós do Noel mar Gael uasal a bhí ann. Duine thar a bheith uasal a bhí ann. Duine a bhí mar an gcéanna is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Departments for the detailed engagement at this stage of the process. What we are doing is what would have been done if the Bill had been developed in one of the Departments. All this consultation would have taken pace as a matter of course long before we got this far. When it is a Private Member's Bill, however, Deputies do not have those privileges of access. Many of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The period is 15 years. It is very short in any case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Department often has the custodianship of national artefacts but it has a process in place for lending in the long term to the county museums and so on, provided it is satisfied with the standards and also that these museums will continue to exist and are funded through public funding. The Department has some arrangement where if it receives an artefact, it can act as the agent in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will come in very briefly. I envisage that we will take on board these useful submissions. There will be other submissions, particularly from the banking institutions. We will sit down with the drafters and look at what the Department said. We will take on board as far as is possible the very valid issues raised. We will see what changes can be made without moving away from the central...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Going back 80 or 100 years, the number of banks involved was small. The smaller banks were amalgamating into AIB, Bank of Ireland and so on. It simplifies it. All the new banks that came in, such as KBC, do not come into the reckoning for the foreseeable future. By that stage, the Bill, if passed, will be well amended, as all these things are. An attraction in having a long cut-off date...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If you found cash, it would be from the 1800s or whatever and you would be better keeping it. We have to keep in mind we are not talking about anything current but things that are there a long time. The more we push back the Bill date, which is arbitrary, from 80 to 100 to 120, the more turning anything found into cash would be an awful tragedy.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

The first point that comes across to me, particularly from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, is that this is worth looking at and working on. The second is that some of the suggestions are to take things out of the Bill rather than that there are...
