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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an Teachta Ó Cuív. Is reachtaíocht fhíor shuimiúil í seo agus is dóigh liom go bhfuil an ceart aige go bhféadfaí 20 bosca a oscailt gan faic a bheith iontu ach d’fhéadfaí dhá nó trí bhosca a oscailt agus luach dochreidte a bheith iontu ó thaobh staire agus oidhreachta de....

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That is okay. Not go over what is a relatively marginal issue, but Mr. Leahy has given an answer on the euro. What about the pre-decimalisation currencies? Would they be at the exchange rate at the point of changeover?

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I am not sure whether it was Mr. Leahy or Mr. Jordan who made the point that it would be on the grounds that realistically the financial value that would be involved would not be very significant. Nonetheless, it is important the legislation has some mechanism because it is possible, whether across all the safe deposit boxes, if a dozen had a very substantial amount of cash. Even when you...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I would like to put the question to Mr. Leahy on the number of safety deposit boxes or items. I have another question as well, which might be an issue for the Department of Justice rather than any of the Departments represented today. I am interested in the issue of title deeds, which had not occurred to me previously. Title deeds are not particularly valuable, except to somebody who is...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: There were two separate questions. If Mr. Leahy could tell me how many safe deposit boxes there are, that would be great. Separately, I was asking of anyone who wants to offer an opinion on it - although perhaps it is an issue for the drafter or this committee as much as anything else - but it occurs to me that there may be a role in terms of reuniting title deeds with their rightful owners.

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I am not looking for a response from the witnesses on this. This is for the committee and for the transcript of the meeting as much as anything else. This issue may arise because it is common enough in Cork city and Dublin city to have unregistered properties. Sometimes there are issues in relation to ground rent and so forth. This may be an issue for people who have an imperfect title...

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

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I will finish on that. I do not have any questions for the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, despite the fact that the greatest benefit might well be in the areas of culture and heritage. The statement from the Department was very strong and it is important that the dialogue continues.
