Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: Mr. Mallon spoke of Brexit and the strategic importance of Ulster Bank within the RBS group. Can he enlighten us on the prospects of Ulster Bank operating in the Twenty-six Counties, on which there have been discussions in the past number of years? Has Brexit strengthened the position of Ulster Bank in the Twenty-six Counties, has it weakened it or has the effect been neutral?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: Mr. Mallon spoke about last year's request of the Central Bank that the bank carry out a review of how many people were taken off tracker mortgages by the bank, or denied the right to go back onto a tracker mortgage as they would have been entitled to do under their contract. How many such people have been identified within Ulster Bank so far?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: I appreciate all of that. I will repeat the question and I would appreciate it if Mr. Mallon would answer it. I did not ask him for the final number. Obviously, he does not know it because it has not been completed. That is why I did not ask him for it. I asked him for the numbers identified within his bank to date who have been prevented from going back on a tracker mortgage or who have...

Pearse Doherty: Mr. Mallon does not know how many people lost their homes as a result of Ulster Bank taking their tracker mortgages away from them? He is the CEO of the institution. I appreciate that he has only been in the job for the past year but is he telling me that the bank does not know this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: I appreciate that. At least we are getting somewhere with figures. The 2,000 customers were subject to what I would describe as industry theft because that is what it is to me and to the ordinary person on the street. Mr. Mallon's bank wrongly took their money from them and will now be forced to give it back to them in a so-called redress scheme. It is industry language for what is going...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: So am I right in saying that the bank has written to none of them? Mr. Mallon told me earlier that the bank had apologised to each of those people individually but it has not actually told any of them that it erred.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Ulster Bank (1 Dec 2016)

Pearse Doherty: The 2,000 people identified by the bank were not identified yesterday. This has been going on since December 2015 at the latest. Ulster Bank has been identifying where it wrongly took tracker mortgages off individuals since that time and is still making them pay a standard variable rate. While the bank is getting all its ducks in a row so it can make a big announcement and send out a big...
