- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I am asking Professor Lane what powers the Central Bank needs to ensure it will happen. It looks to me as though it is dealing with it as if it was the banks' problem, which it is, but it is also a problem with regulation. The Central Bank regulates the banks. Do the delegates realise the impact this issue has had on people's lives? If a person has a mortgage of €200,000, he or she...

Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect to Professor Lane, if a person has been on the incorrect interest rate since 1 August 2013, a wrong is being done. Surely, common law should enable us to right the wrong from the period when it arose.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: This could potentially be the biggest consumer scandal in the history of the State. It has echoes of the DIRT scandal when the banks had to be dragged kicking and screaming to deal with it. As Governor of the Central Bank and the regulator of the banks, the ordinary person puts trust and faith in Professor Lane to play these roles. Are there powers that need to be provided for the Central...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, payments have commenced to one third of the 13,000 impacted on tracker mortgage holders and with only three of the 11 providers. Does Professor Lane regard it as satisfactory progress where he will now look for another eight mortgage providers to come to the table before the end of the year?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: We will take it that the Central Bank will look to have the redress and compensation scheme up and running by the end of the year for the 13,000 cases identified. For the other cohort of impacted on customers, does the Central Bank have the powers, as regulator, to compel the banks to deal with them, even though they might claim they have not been impacted on?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: There is a contradiction.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: There is. Professor Lane is saying that if the Central Bank identifies a cohort of impacted on customers and the banks do not agree, the only recourse is to tell them to write to the individual customers.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I understand that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: No, in the limited time available, does the Central Bank have the power to dictate to the banks on the other cohort? Some claim that it could involve up to 30,000 cases, which means that there could be an extra 10,000 or more cases on the existing 13,000. Does the Central Bank have the power to tell the banks to deal with that group of customers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: When will the Central Bank insist on the banks writing to the customers who have been impacted on?

Kieran O'Donnell: Is Professor Lane denying it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: In his updated report Professor Lane stated engagement with other bodies on tracker mortgage-related issues continued as appropriate and that since the March report, the Central Bank had also met the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and An Garda Síochána. Has the Central Bank made formal complaints to An Garda Síochána about criminal activitiesin specific...

Kieran O'Donnell: On the €120 million being provided by way of redress and compensation, what is the breakdown between redress and compensation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Professor Lane disclosed the total amount, which is €120 million. I would like to know the compensation amount as a percentage of the redress amount.
