- 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)
Pearse Doherty: I will ask the same question of Mr. Kelly because the same pertains to KBC, which is offering lower fixed rates than Bank of Ireland. For somebody who has received a letter, closed his or her account and transferred and whose fixed rate period may be coming to an end, will that person be hit with increased mortgage costs at a time when the ECB is likely to increase the rates in the coming months?
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: If somebody moves from KBC today and opens an account with Bank of Ireland, and his or her fixed rate is coming to an end tomorrow, he or she will be worse off. That person's mortgage is going to increase as a result of being with Bank of Ireland.

Pearse Doherty: Is that not the reality? Forget about what the ECB is going to do in the future. That is going to make things worse. From Mr. Kelly's point of view, I am asking him whether any consideration has been given to trying to absorb some of the increases the ECB is looking at implementing or actually addressing the bank's fixed rates, which are quite high - extremely high in the context of Europe...
- 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)
Pearse Doherty: Perhaps Mr. Kelly will not speculate on this either, but KBC has a large proportion of warehoused mortgages. We have dealt with this in the past at different committees in terms of different banks' approaches to how we dealt with the mortgage arrears. They will now come over to Bank of Ireland. There is a concern that Bank of Ireland will deal with them more aggressively. My concern would...

- 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)
Pearse Doherty: We know that 120,000 letters have been issued. There will be another 100,000 in the next number of weeks and approximately another 100,000 every month thereafter for a year. Banks were letting staff go and now they are scrambling to find and recruit staff. There is a lack of planning here. These banks announced that they were withdrawing from the market well over a year ago. Maybe that...

Pearse Doherty: I will make two final points. I will pick up on the point made by Mr. Hayes on 70% plus of customers opening their accounts digitally. That is not accurate. I am sure he knows that as the CEO of Banking and Payments Federation Ireland. I will put on record, from the data Bank of Ireland, AIB and Permanent TSB have given us, that 36% of Bank of Ireland current accounts, or almost one in...
