- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
John McGuinness: I want the bank, as it sells the loans, to ensure that does not happen. I have given an example already in terms of the case concerning the individual who wrote to us. All of this brings me to the global restructuring group, GRG, and I know Mr. Stanley may not wish to comment. Of all of the banks to have come before the committee, Ulster Bank has offered the excuse of the closed period...

John McGuinness: -----with regard to customers, Mr. Stanley might very well go back and say Ulster Bank should reopen and take a fresh look at this matter because it is now customer-friendly, its staff are cuddly people and would like to make sure everybody is okay. That stance also might be a start in rebuilding trust with the SME sector. I ask Mr. Stanley to come back to us on that matter.
