Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is very interesting, and I thank the witnesses for the presentation. The requirement in the proposed Bill is that the banks make their best endeavours, and there are procedures laid down as to how they must do so, which include public advertisement and so on. However, it is not specified what those are any more than it is specified in the dormant accounts legislation. That leads me...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is interesting because dormant accounts are accounts that have shown no activity for 15 years or more, and it is a lot easier to locate somebody from, say, 15 years back.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Let us say I claim that I am the rightful descendant of whomever. Do I understand rightly that if somebody claims that, Finders then helps that person to create the links that would establish that as being a fact?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is the challenge, of course, because we are talking about starting in the late 18th century, and the number of generations makes it a bit more complex.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nach bhféadfaí fós an cheist sin a ardú agus a rá go bhfuil comhaltaí an Chomhchoiste Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta, agus Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge míshásta le seo?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My second question is as follows. I am again just curious. Was Finders ever asked by Tailte Éireann, into which the Property Registration Authority merged, to track down owners in cases involving commonage, somebody who has died intestate and in respect of whom the folio is three generations old or that kind of thing? I had one case in Inishbofin where a commonage was bought and I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I know that. It is a challenge and every generation that we go back, it gets more complex. After these hearings, we will go back over the Bill, line by line. It seems to me that the legal responsibility is already provided for in the Bill, and the banks have to go looking. We have specified to a certain degree how they have to go looking but it is no more than the dormant accounts. Then,...
