- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: When did the bank provide the information?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: And the Central Bank has not come back to Ulster Bank regarding any of those?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: So there is an acknowledgement. If the Central Bank is of the view that there are additional cohorts, which is a horrible term because it really dehumanises all of this, of people who have been impacted by the bank, is that a decision or opinion that Ulster Bank will accept or is it something the bank may challenge?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Can Mr. Stanley inform the committee as to how the bank can make the statement that it expects this to conclude with a number of weeks? Has a timeline been put on this? If all the bank has received is an acknowledgement, how is the bank so sure that this-----

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: That is 1,214 over the period of January.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: I understand that. What was the figure in December?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: The bank has not even managed to pay back fewer than 200 people. The figure for the month of January was 193 people. Riddle me this. There are 200 people working full time on this issue and there are 31 days in January. Each one of them cannot even pay back one customer each. What Ulster Bank has achieved over the month of January is pathetic.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Come on.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: I am not judging the bank's progress. I never mentioned anything about February or March. I am saying that what Ulster Bank did with regard to customers, which it robbed, was pathetic. It took this money from their accounts illegally. It took this money from them. We have AIB telling us that it has 500 people working on this. Whatever the 200 people in Ulster Bank who were working on...

Pearse Doherty: But the customers do not believe Ulster Bank.

Pearse Doherty: Deputy Michael McGrath talked about the letters he is getting from customers of Ulster Bank. I am the same, as I am sure are the rest of the committee members. The number of letters I get from Ulster Bank customers exceeds all of the letters I receive from other customers from all of the other banks combined. That the trend at which we are now looking because of the messing in which Ulster...

Pearse Doherty: No, Ulster Bank has the issue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Of course, I have. They have contacted Ulster Bank. If the bank's chief executive officer, CEO, was present, he could actually respond because they have written personally to him time and again in cases where the data packs are not being provided. The customers have raised this with the Data Protection Commissioner. Has the Data Protection Commissioner contacted Ulster Bank regarding the...

Pearse Doherty: Is Ms Arnett aware of this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Ulster Bank (1 Feb 2018)
Pearse Doherty: I could read out letters about how people are being moved from pillar to post about accessing their data with Ulster Bank. It seems that the bank is a shambles. It cannot get to grips with this. Mr. Stanley's apology and excuse for this earlier on was that when the Central Bank wrote to it in 2015, Ulster Bank sat on its hands for a couple of weeks and had a wee yarn with itself about how...

Pearse Doherty: Mr. Stanley told us in December 2016 that between 14 and 15 individuals lost their private dwelling homes, PDHs. Since then we know that the bank has identified another 1,500. The figure for home loss, however, has not increased despite that increase of 1,500. Is Mr. Stanley satisfied that of the 3,500 that is the number of individuals who have lost their homes?
