Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I have one small point. I do not believe it had been put on the public record to date that 15 or 16 connected Russians are attached to some of the SPEs that are managed out of Ireland.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I understand. What is the practical impact on the operation of these SPEs? What function does the Central Bank have in managing the sanctions regime? What is the real impact on those individuals and on the SPEs?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I welcome the witnesses to the meeting. To a degree, the issue I want to raise was addressed somewhat by the Governor and his colleague, Ms Donnery, earlier on, but it is probably more appropriate to tease this question out a little further with the other witnesses, given that they have direct responsibility for the issue of consumer protection within the Central Bank of Ireland. I want to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I have a couple of follow-up questions around the practicalities of how all of this is going to work. I had a message earlier from a constituent. Under normal circumstances, I do not believe he would be moving from Ulster Bank or KBC necessarily. It is just that, in the normal way, he has decided to take the advice that is often proffered to switch his bank accounts. It has taken four...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I have a couple of final questions, with the indulgence of the Chair. Some Ulster Bank customers have already made the decision to switch their bank accounts. Has the Central Bank been monitoring that on a monthly basis? Would the witnesses happen to have the figures with them today that would indicate how many Ulster Bank customers have migrated already? That is the first question of my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: I am sure Ulster Bank has engaged with the Central Bank to inform it as to what its plans are to support customers in that process. It has set down what appears to me at least - it may not be - an arbitrary deadline of six months, and it may have done that in agreement with the Central Bank. If the Central Bank believes that is not sufficient, will it leave it open to revision or review and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Planning and Development Act 2000 (Exempted Development) (No. 2) Regulations 2022: Motion (29 Mar 2022)

Gerald Nash: On behalf of the Labour Party, I will be happy to continue to support these particular exemptions, the reasons for which are very clear. I agree with Deputy Ó Broin that elements of the exemptions in terms of planning regulations and law may need to take on a degree of permanence. I know there is an ongoing discussion within the Department, and across society and the country more...
