Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Last week, the Minister for Finance signed a statutory instrument that repeals public access to the register of beneficial owners. That followed a Court of Justice of the European Union ruling last year that struck down the right to public access to the register of public ownership. This is a major blow to corporate transparency. Indeed, Transparency International Ireland described the...

Home Care and Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Regional Group for tabling the motion. We are here week after week discussing the very same issue and we need to see more progress in this area. This is why the Government must advance the vital regulation for the home care sector and make the legislation a priority. It has to be a priority. We know what is happening in the constituencies. It must establish the promised...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Ms Irwin and Mr. Byrne for being here and Mr. Hall for all the really important work he does. This meeting reminded me of the human stories we heard when we had witnesses in regarding the tracker mortgage scandal. We hear many of these stories in our offices all the time. Worryingly, more and more people are coming forward all the time. We know what it will mean if someone has to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is a total disregard for a person’s credit rating or what that might do, besides the stress.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, Mr. Byrne was assured even when it happened and when the mortgages were transferred over without his consent, but we were also assured in this committee by everybody across the board that mortgages which were sold off would be no worse off in respect of being managed by vulture funds. We were told that over and over again. At what point did Mr. Byrne realise that things were very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Up to that point, was Mr. Byrne of the impression that he could fix his mortgage if he needed to, until he went to ask for this to be done?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Just on that point before I turn to Ms Irwin, on the issue of where Mr. Byrne’s extra money is actually going; has he been able to find out who the beneficiaries are, where it is going or who actually owns his mortgage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Where are Mr Byrne’s deeds?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Mr. Byrne does not know where the deeds to his house are. That is a very serious situation. Where the deeds to Ms Irwin's house?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What do the witnesses believe the Government needs to do in this regard? It is a very big thing when someone continues to pay a mortgage, clears it and then gets the deeds to the house back. When people are dealing with a bank, they know where the deeds are.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I believe as a committee we need to write to the Central Bank to ask the question whether it has that information on where people's deeds are held where the mortgages have been sold to vulture funds. This is very important. I also ask Mr. Hall to elaborate on his comment earlier that the Central Bank: “is fast asleep ... and... horrifically conflicted.”

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Both Ms Irwin and Mr. Byrne are in a situation where they have strived not to go into arrears and to make all their payments. On the aggregate figures, can Mr. Hall see any repossessions coming down the line as people are stretched to the pin of their collar trying to pay the extra amounts being demanded of them each month?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I share Mr. Hall’s concern. If there was one single thing which Mr. Byrne and Ms Irwin want to come out of their being here today - for which I want to thank them again and also for representing the many families who are in a similar situation - what would it be?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Would that involve the bank taking his mortgage back from the vulture fund?
