Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: I thank the Governor, Professor Lane, and Mr. Sibley. Just so that we get the full picture on this issue, the Central Bank issued a statement yesterday saying that 8,200 customer accounts have been identified where people were not given the opportunity to go back to a tracker or the tracker rate was higher than it should have been. Could Professor Lane just summarise for us the 2010 to 2011...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: There are a number of different issues, but on the issue of people being wrongly denied or not being offered the opportunity to go back to a tracker rate we had the Bank of Ireland issue which affected 2,100 customers. Could Mr. Sibley give some figures for the other institutions with which the Central Bank engaged at that time?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: What is it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: Is that 5,000 in 2010?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: Mr. Sibley is jumping forward. I wish to get all of the facts about the 2010 period and the immediate years following that to get the full picture. The statement the Central Bank issued yesterday is not the full picture. Mr. Sibley said that around 2010 approximately 5,000 customer accounts in Bank of Ireland had their tracker rates restored following a review.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: Was Bank of Ireland the only example at that time where customers were wrongly denied a tracker mortgage account? The other issues were about the fixed rate and communication. I am going back first so that we have all the facts and we can debate the issue properly then.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Michael McGrath: Could Professor Lane come back to the committee with all the details of those engagements on tracker-related issues, whether it be fixed-rate communication or people being denied the rate, by institution? I expect the information is in the public domain and the Central Bank can put it together.
