Rose Conway Walsh: I cannot agree with Mr. Broderick on that point.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Mr. Kissane for all the excellent work that he has been doing. Without Mr. Kissane, the issue would not be where it is. He has certainly done the State some service. The situations he describe where people have been robbed of their money, and robbed of their lives in some cases, is a stark picture but it is the reality we, as public representatives, come across every day. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Kissane's absolute confidence in the Central Bank in terms of sorting this out is difficult to understand. We had representatives of Ulster Bank before us and they committed to having most of it sorted out by Christmas and anything else early in the new year. All the Ulster Bank customers I know are still waiting. They are still getting the letters they have been receiving for the past...

Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Kissane will be familiar with the figures for provisioning. The figure for Ulster Bank is €118 million. Does Mr. Kissane think that provision is in any way sufficient to meet what will be needed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does that tone, namely, that we all partied, not come from the highest level? Mr. Kissane has talked about people's shame and feeding and exploiting that has been done in a ruthless way. Has the tracker mortgage debacle happened in any other country?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Surely the Central Bank is the institution responsible for ensuring that none is outstanding at the end of 2017. Is that not correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: It appears to me that the control is still firmly with the banks, and it has not been taken by the Central Bank. The Central Bank expects that banks will have commenced engagement with impacted customers by mid-2017. What does it mean by engagement? Is it another letter that says something slightly different? That is a problem. It goes back to the Cathaoirleach's observations that the...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I rise to discuss the imminent, all-out bus strike and the impact it will have on people. I do this in the context of an earlier meeting relating to the national spatial strategy and talk that we will lose the Athlone to Westport route. There are many questions around that, including taking services, including vital transport services, away from rural Ireland. In any survey, people say...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Feb 2017)
