Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee today. I also thank and commend them on the work they do on behalf of mortgage holders. We are used to having financial institutions come before the committee and the Central Bank comes in, but it is very difficult for us to get individual bank customers or mortgage holders to come in. Therefore, it is very important that we have people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Jim O'Callaghan: We certainly agree that there should not be a difference.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Jim O'Callaghan: Has that information come out as a result?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Jim O'Callaghan: Okay. The point everyone seems to be making is that a person who entered into a mortgage with an ordinary regulated bank should be entitled to the same terms and conditions on that mortgage, even if it has been transferred over to a vulture fund.
