- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Central Bank (20 Sep 2023)
John McGuinness: I cannot believe you are saying that. Documents are meant to be retained, particularly by a big bank like that. My understanding is that it claimed there was no documentation for a vast number of these cases, particularly a document that would refer to the compatibility of this particular product for the individual it was dealing with, yet the whistleblower had all the documents. I just...

John McGuinness: I refer to the sale of loans to vulture funds. In the case of the sale of a loan to a vulture fund, all of the paperwork and commitments regarding it goes to the vulture fund. If there is a decision in court that legal fees should be paid by the bank that sold the product, is it the bank or the vulture fund who pays? I presume it is the bank. The evidence I have is that in a number of...

John McGuinness: Has the Central Bank received many complaints from customers of banks who had their loans sold to vulture funds regarding how they are or have been treated? If they wrote to the Central Bank, how would it deal with those complaints? Does it register the number of complaints?

John McGuinness: I attended a meeting of the Irish Banking Culture Board last week. I was shocked to hear Padraic Kissane tell me that some of the harrowing cases we heard at this committee at the very beginning of the tracker mortgage issue had still not been resolved. I know the Central Bank does not deal with individual cases. He was not dealing with individual cases, but the day they came before us...

John McGuinness: Could Ms Rowland tell the committee how many unresolved cases there are with respect to each of the banks? Does she know that figure? Does she know the figure of the cases still being dealt with by the ombudsman?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Central Bank (20 Sep 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Central Bank (20 Sep 2023)
John McGuinness: Yes, I will. Mr. Makhlouf wrote to the committee arising from an issue I raised with the Central Bank about accounting standards. Are the witnesses satisfied that these standards are being met? Sorry, are they satisfied that the accountancy bodies are ensuring that their members are using the standards and regulations set down by the European Union and they are not being advised to do...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Central Bank (20 Sep 2023)
John McGuinness: Mr. Makhlouf was satisfied then. I am asking whether he is satisfied now that there is no evidence that the accountancy firms are giving advice contrary to European regulations.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Central Bank (20 Sep 2023)
