Rose Conway Walsh: I have several other questions on that issue but I want to move on to the closure of branches. The witness has said that the bank has listened closely to communities. Has he ever reversed a decision after listening to communities? Will he explain how the bank listens to communities? Has it engaged with local chambers of commerce? Has it visited areas such as Ballyhaunis, where a branch...

Rose Conway Walsh: The customers are a central point in the process of carrying out a cost-benefit analysis. Does the bank talk to customers or people in the locality who are using that branch and depending on it for different cash transactions and different transactions within the bank in the community?

Rose Conway Walsh: I need to put Senator Paddy Burke straight. I welcome the Minister of State to the House and I hope he is in better form than his colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, when he appeared before us a couple of weeks ago. I need to address what Senator Paddy Burke said regarding VAT on hotel beds. We need to be very clear about this because it is important to get accurate...
- Seanad: Budget 2018: Statements (10 Oct 2017)
