Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I thank the witnesses. I note from both Google and Meta's opening statements that the number of fraudulent websites and ads that have been taken down is massive. I note the work that is going on there. Regarding Amazon, Mr. Brophy was nearly back in his old role, giving a bit of financial advice to the committee, slipping into his old jacket too comfortably. I hear his opening statement...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: No. What I am asking about is where sellers on Amazon are selling an item, and when it goes to the purchase point, they are contacting the buyer and asking them to make payments off-platform using other types of apps like Venmo and so on, where the scam actually happens, although it is originating on the Amazon site.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Okay, so Amazon does not track that. Amazon warns customers not to make payments off-platform, through Western Union or whatever, but to go onto the site. It is the right warning because if it is fraudulent, they will get their money back. It is a great service that is operated if people stay on the platform. It appears over and over that this is one of the scams that are attempted. A...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Sorry, it is the first item on the website in respect of avoiding payment scams. There is a number of items about how to avoid them and the first is "do not do business with a seller who directs you off the Amazon website." How are they getting on to the Amazon website in the first place and do the witnesses have any figures on how many people have been put off as a result of this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: It should not have to take this meeting to recognise that the financial industry, which is at the coalface of this because its customers are the ones discovering that payments have been being taken out, should not have to select a violation from a drop-down menu, which is the same level of access my mum has. That is not acceptable. Financial institutions have information that they should...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: In last week's budget the Government made a conscious decision to under-fund the health system. That is well established. The impact is going to be felt by those unable to get a hospital bed, those who will remain on long waiting lists and thousands of seriously ill patients who may not be able to access potentially life-saving medicines. The Government is now playing the blame game,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Oct 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I made the point that the Glanmire flood relief scheme was announced in 2016. The floods happened in 2012 and it took three years for ministerial consent. Nobody in the community is opposing it or objecting to it. They desperately need it and they were hit again yesterday with devastating floods. The Tánaiste spoke about humanitarian assistance funding. It is means-tested. Will the...
