Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: The problem is that there is not an inquiry.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: All the agencies and organisations that are represented here have a role in keeping the pressure on because a real injustice was done when it comes to valproate. It has been proven in France and cases are going through the system in that jurisdiction which will likely be settled within a number of weeks. I also mentioned earlier the conclusions of the British Medical Journal so the issue is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for those Living with a Neurological Condition: Discussion (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I ask the DFI to continue that.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Citizenship Rights (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I, too, thank the delegates for their presentations. Senator Craughwell raised one of the questions I had intended to raise. There is need for a legal mechanism to force the two Governments to play their roles as co-guarantors. The Good Friday Agreement is a legally binding international agreement. What does "legally binding" mean? One imagines implementation of a Bill of Rights would be...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Citizenship Rights (8 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: From where does Professor Harvey see the resources coming?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the representatives for the opening statement. How much profit did the bank make in this jurisdiction last year?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: However, it made €23 million in the first quarter of this year.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: How much corporation tax did the bank pay out of the €15 million?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Corporation tax on the €15 million was €1.5 million.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Yes. The dividend the bank paid to the RBS seems quite high at €1.5 billion in January.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: There is also a rationale when people look at that in terms of €1.5 billion going to RBS, which is 66% owned by the British Government. On the one hand, that money is being given to RBS and, on the other, the bank is trying to get vacant possessions and selling properties to vulture funds, which is causing a great deal of hardship. Is Mr. Stanley saying they are not connected at all?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: The bank has €292 million in deferred tax assets.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: That will be reclaimed over nine years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I believe that Ulster Bank Ireland is getting a good deal. I suppose that the whole issue is the moral aspect. I am aware that the Government allows the banks to do this with deferred assets and so on but when we are in a situation with such homelessness - and considering Deputy Doherty's contribution on the vulture funds and people being given 30 days to pay up or get out - there is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Okay. There is no such thing as a policy of barring anything or that the bank is just going to look at legal costs. The bank will look at all of the others costs associated with it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: We will follow that and hold the bank to that. I will now turn to the bank's charges. AIB charges too much for the use of ATMs while the Bank of Ireland charges 20 cent per debit card transaction. Ulster Bank, however, combines the worst of both worlds by charging 35 cent for an ATM withdrawal and 20 cent per debit card transaction. Why is that? Ulster Bank also charges for contactless...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does Ms Howard agree that the Ulster Bank charges more than any other bank?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Those were the other banks. I am drawing a comparison with the charges of other banks.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector (Resumed): Ulster Bank (9 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Customers will decide for themselves on those charges. Who sets the €30 limit for contactless transactions?
