- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: People still getting the repeated letters really do not know at this stage.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is the exact same answer the witness gave me the last time here, a year ago. I went back to the customers and said they would be contacted and know where they stood, at the very latest, within six weeks. That did not happen. The witness indicates that if a customer requests a meeting, the bank will engage with the person and make the necessary arrangements to suit the customer. Is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is there a timeline for that meeting?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: If the people who do not know if they are in or out and who keep getting repeated letters request a meeting, the bank's representatives will meet them.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is the witness saying the bank's representatives will not meet those customers yet? These are the people who absolutely know they are to be included and charged the wrong rates.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: No, they know they are affected and have sought confirmation from the bank but two years later they are getting repeated letters. Will the bank's representatives meet those customers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the witness. I am really concerned about the levels of compensation relative to the other banks. Bank of Ireland has told us the average rate for those denied a tracker is 20% and AIB gave us figures as well around 20% for those with a private dwelling home mortgage no longer on a tracker, or 23% for those on the higher margin. The witnesses have said the compensation will be a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is the maximum 20%?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: So 20% is the maximum as it stands.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: The bank can expect very many appeals. When is it expected that the two legal cases will be concluded?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is unacceptable that the bank's level is a maximum of 20% while the rates of compensation from other banks are more than that. It is something I am sure the Central Bank will look at that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is it satisfied with those levels?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Did it indicate it was satisfied with it?
- Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I was going to raise the matter of the banks and tracker mortgages once again but I feel the focus today should instead be on the non-HSE parent representative on the primary care steering group, which has been mentioned previously. I say that because in 2008, I was very involved in a project involving the HSE and the Combat Poverty Agency relating to community participation and primary...
- Seanad: Housing: Statements (31 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for coming to Mayo and for meeting with the representatives of the group of people who are affected by pyrite. I would ask that he puts an urgent redress scheme in place for those householders. There is no way they can go through another winter, given the state their houses are in. I again thank the Minister of State for coming and I understand that he knows...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Ms McDonagh for her presentation. Notwithstanding the fact that she only joined Bank of Ireland in recent months, she has a key role to play in answering as to why money was removed from the accounts of over 10,000 customers. That is the key point. People will find it astounding that, from what I am hearing, the bank got legal advice on its contractual obligations, which instructed...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I just cannot figure out how the legal people did not pick this up. If somebody is looking at a contract and customers were contacting the bank at the time, I cannot understand how the legal team was not aware of it. We seek legal opinion all the time on different matters here. Why is it that none of the legal advisers said there was illegality and that the bank was going to do something...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Does the bank have the same legal team?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Does the bank have the same legal teams in place and does it use the same external legal advisers as it used during that period in 2009 and 2010?
