- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: PTSB has 2,500 cases before the courts, some of which we know involve people who are engaging with the bank. PTSB has sold on all of these loans and it is pursuing 2,500 cases through the courts.

John McGuinness: Even though PTSB has chased 2,500 individuals through the courts, justice is not going to happen for those 2,500 customers, not with PTSB because it has sold them on to the vulture funds. Does Mr. O'Sullivan think the vulture funds will remove these 2,500 cases from the courts and restructure the loans? The witnesses appear to think that the funds are a generous lot and that they do deals....

John McGuinness: Do not mind what anyone else said and answer my question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: PTSB was in the shoes, but has tossed them away. When PTSB was challenging 2,500 homeowners around the country, that was the time to address it. What it is now doing is outsourcing its dirty work to a vulture fund. It is ignoring the possibility of working individually with the people we are speaking about. That is essentially what Mr. Masding's response means. It is cold comfort for the...

John McGuinness: Is Mr. Sullivan saying PTSB did so in respect of each of the 2,500 cases?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: Do these loans form part of the 2,500?

John McGuinness: Do they form part of the 2,500 cases before the courts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: I am anxious to clarify that point because I do not trust the figures provided. It was mentioned at one point that 1,050 of the cases were homeowners. Were they ever presented to the Mr. Hall's iCare Housing programme for examination, it being the only agency that comes to mind just now as being an agency that might be able to help these people?

John McGuinness: Why did PTSB not allow the 2,500 homeowners before the courts to exhaust that process before it sold their loans to a vulture fund?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: No. PTSB has 2,500 homeowners before the courts. It has pulled the legal mat from under these people and sold their loans to a vulture fund, so it did not give them a chance.

John McGuinness: That is justice.

John McGuinness: PTSB has taken that away from the 2,500 we are speaking about.

John McGuinness: I do not believe that. It is a nonsense that PTSB has been peddling for some time now, supported by some commentators, but it totally untrue in reality and in practice. In regard to the 1,050 accounts, it was said in a statement from PTSB that these are attached to buy-to-let properties. Do the witnesses agree with that statement?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: The statement reads: "PTSB confirm that 1,050 loans on family homes, which are performing or meeting the terms of an agreed restructuring arrangement, are included in those being sold." In the case of these homes, again Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned three different possibilities for them. Did PTSB apply any of those possibilities for them in terms of a solution?

John McGuinness: Let me put it to Mr. O'Sullivan in a different way. A media report says that shortly after the project Glas loan sale, it emerged that 1,050 mortgages on family homes were included in the sale and were performing or were meeting the terms of their restructured arrangement. Is that true?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: Why not?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: It is not a statement, it is a report. Never mind where it came from but it says that 1,050 mortgages on family homes were included in the sale and were performing loans or were meeting the terms of their agreed restructured arrangement. Is that true or false?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: This is what is being said of project Glas.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: Never mind by who; is it true or false? Is the statement true or false?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Sale of Property Loans (Project Glas) By Permanent TSB: Discussion (11 Oct 2018)
John McGuinness: There are no performing loans, so this is wrong.
