Eugene Murphy: Is it manageable?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Mr. Deering stated that a total of 2,491 complaints were resolved by dispute resolution in 2016. Does he have the figure for 2015?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: He said it was low.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: That is a huge increase.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I ask Mr. Deering this because - and I am sure all Deputies and Senators hear this in their constituency offices - many people are coming under financial pressure and 50% do not seem to be aware of the ombudsman's role until one mentions it. The reason I raise this is that the vast majority of people who come to our offices to discuss financial matters are very frightened of financial...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I will ask two more brief questions, if I may. First, how does the ombudsman find the attitude of the financial institutions, including the credit unions? Second - that I may ask two questions together rather than taking up time - to go back to Senator Kelleher's point, I find that elderly people often come to my office to discuss online banking. It is appalling that online banking being...

Eugene Murphy: I refer to solicitors dealing with them.

Eugene Murphy: Even if it concerns a financial issue?

- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: In one institution, I think it is, in a gentle manner, being forced on them. That is the problem I have. They might use very cosmetic language but the vibe one gets from it, even talking to the people working for the banks, is that they want to push people that way. That is the problem I have with it. With the attitude of the banks and credit unions to the ombudsman's office, does it get...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Absolutely.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with Financial Services Ombudsman (22 Mar 2017)

- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I will make a brief comment. I thank Deputy Niall Collins for bringing it up and sharing time. In her reply, the Minister repeatedly states "outside of Dublin".
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I am asking where are the Minister's agencies in Roscommon, east Galway, Leitrim and Longford? It is not happening in those areas. I acknowledge the programme for Government states the Government would create 155,000 jobs outside of Dublin but our region is being destroyed because we do not have jobs. If one looks at towns such as Ballaghaderreen, Castlerea, Strokestown, Cortober in...
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: One. In Cavan, which is in Deputy Niamh Smyth's constituency, the number was low also. IDA Ireland is not engaging with certain counties and I want the Minister to change that. If the Government does not do so then we are not getting a fair crack of the whip.
- Other Questions: Economic Competitiveness (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The Minister's answer is fine and I am sure it is correct, but the goalposts have changed. The CSO figures for 2016, and I questioned the Taoiseach on this during Leaders' Questions two weeks ago, show a drop in the value of exports of almost €500 million, that is, €480 million, for 2016. Most of this drop occurred between June and the end of the year, after the Brexit vote....
- Other Questions: Economic Competitiveness (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Yes, the value.
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The Deputy has only 30 seconds to introduce his question, but I will let him back in after the Minister's reply.
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I do not wish to be rude but can I stop the Deputy there? I would like to allow the Minister to reply and I will then let the Deputy have another minute.
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I will keep the Minister's reply to one minute because I want to get through more questions.
