Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (24 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: My next question is for Ms Leane. One of the functions of this committee is that we try to ensure there are a number of avenues available for people in secondary education. Obviously, there are probably clear avenues available to students who are good at science or languages. When did Ms Leane's interest in cookery manifest itself? Was there an avenue available to her in school or was it...

Jim O'Callaghan: We must recognise the regrettable fact that virtually every member of the Garda has been subjected to assault or acts of violence in the course of his or her career.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank the management of the two banks for coming in. What is going to happen to the respective companies? I ask Mr. Jansen what is going to happen to happen to KBC Ireland plc. Does the bank intend winding up that company?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: Okay. Mr. Jansen mentioned, I think to Deputy Nash, that Bank of Ireland will be assigned the interest in certain accounts. Does that mean it would be the entity to issue proceedings if KBC has any bad debts from customers?

Jim O'Callaghan: If my debt comes within that section of the baggage that is being sold to Bank of Ireland, that bank will come after me and, if not, then KBC Bank plc will still come after me.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: Yes, but ultimately, even though KBC will have departed the Irish market, Mr. Jansen still envisages situations where KBC Ireland plc may be instituting proceedings against former customers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: I apologise; I did not hear the first part of Ms Howard's answer. Did she say Ulster Bank Ireland DAC will ultimately be wound up or is the intention to keep it going as a company?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: Okay. Taking my previous example again, if I happen to owe Ulster Bank €5,000 today and a year from now that has not been repaid and my account is being closed, Ulster Bank Ireland DAC, or an entity under a new trading name, will still be the entity to institute proceedings.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland (18 May 2022)

Jim O'Callaghan: Let us say Ulster writes to me and I decide not to avail of the switcher process and do not do anything - I know the bank may be critical of customers who do not respond to its correspondence - what will happen to my account? Will Ms Howard take us through that?
