Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I seem to be unlucky in that whenever the committee is discussing something in which I have an interest, there are also questions in the Dáil that have relevance for me. It is hard to be in two places at once. In respect of the current dormant accounts, the obligation first is to find the owner. It is only in the event of the bank not being able to find the owner that there is any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would dispute that. I had this argument before with various Ministers for Finance about the idea of saying that everything is a liability. The Central Bank, which is not represented today, used to have a habit, although I do not know if it still does, of writing off non-returned currency that could theoretically exist somewhere and be claimed. Every now and then, there would be a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If European rules are that stupid, it is time that we changed them. I sometimes wonder if we have come to the point of living in the real world at all but we will not come to that matter of dormant accounts. It is ridiculous. One could say that everything is a liability. I am probably diverging slightly here but the Chair might indulge me. My view was always that anybody who wants their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is in a very short timeframe. It is 15 years after there is no activity in the account that the account is classified as a dormant account.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is in all of our living memory. Most of the people whose money has lain dormant are still alive. Obviously one will have a large number who will reclaim their money but what always amazes me is that the inflows are twice the size.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, but my question is who will do this task? I suppose there is an easy answer and I presume the Department will agree with this, the Oireachtas does. The next question is who sponsors the Bill. If it is a Government Bill, it will be a Government decision to decide whether it will come under the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht or the Department for Rural and Community...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mr. Dorgan raised an issue about the State spending money, and an individual suddenly finds that he or she has an inheritance that he or she did not know about and will benefit from it, that it might in some way impinge.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Banking Legislation: Discussion (6 Mar 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will give my personal view, having had the unenviable task over the years of helping people who had great-grandparents and grandparents who had not registered their land and who were trying to deal with a legal problem.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ceisteanna ullamh agam. Ní cóir go mbeadh aon imní ar an gCathaoirleach faoi sin.
