Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

John McGuinness: The point is that when the individual takes action and tries to find out the details of their situation with the bank they are being stonewalled. They have to continue to pay the inflated cost of their loan while they are waiting for the Central Bank. It is clear from the correspondence that unless they take action, the banks will just ignore them. It seems to me that the banks are not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

John McGuinness: I just want to press this point. When one looks at this, and when one examines the correspondence that we have all received, and there is a huge amount of it, it is clear that the bank took action to take money from their customers illegally. Now they are going to redress it. They are now robbing the rights of the customer to proper redress and proper compensation by dragging their heels...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

John McGuinness: Does that include the cases where people who engaged with the bank cannot get their information? I have two short questions after this, but my last question on this issue is if we send all this correspondence on to Mr. Sheridan and if we redirect every letter that comes in to him, will he take it up with the bank?

John McGuinness: The other question, and I do not know how this is dealt with, is about the issue of EBS tied agents. Is that something to which the Central Bank has a resolution?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland (4 Apr 2017)

John McGuinness: I have a letter from a credit union to say it was disappointed to hear the Central Bank repeatedly advise that no business model proposals or requests for changes to regulations have been made to it. This arose from our hearings with the credit unions. The letter goes on to state that the credit union has made extensive efforts to engage the registrar on its business model development and...

John McGuinness: The Sergeant Maurice McCabe issue and the general whistleblowers issue has given a clear indication to us that there is corruption and poor management within the Garda force and the Tánaiste does not need a report to do because they have given us that information.
