- Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jun 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: A number of weeks ago I asked the Leader to invite the line Minister to the House to discuss foetal anticonvulsant syndrome and the prescribing of valproate. I reiterate that request today. We need to bring this issue to a conclusion. We need to know what measures she is putting in place to address what has happened to these families and children as a result of the prescribing of...
- Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Second Stage (19 Jun 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House. As Members have said, we dealt with the pre-legislative scrutiny of this Bill in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach. The committee asked for the Bill to be published as soon as possible, so I welcome its introduction in the Seanad. While the Data Protection Bill 2018 has been passed,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Mr. Stanley for his opening statement. At this stage I have really grave concerns that Ulster Bank has neither the capacity nor the competency to deal with the tracker mortgage issue. I will give Mr. Stanley a few reasons I say this. He has been before us time and again, yet there are people affected whom Ulster Bank is ignoring. I will tell him about one such case. Does he think...

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: It is not just an individual case; it is so many cases across the board where Ulster Bank will not communicate with the customers. There is no point in having a helpline when no one can tell these people anything. Mr. Stanley told us 200 people were working on the tracker mortgage situation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: As a finance committee, we have been overly patient with how this has been dealt with. Mr. Stanley told us Ulster Bank has fully settled 2,900 of these cases.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: Why can Ulster Bank not give a decision to these customers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: Why can it not engage with them? Mr. Stanley talks about non-performing loans and so on and says people have been given various opportunities to engage, but Ulster Bank does not engage with people. It sets up a helpline and sends out standard letters and this goes on for years.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Stanley said earlier that no groups were in dispute. Is that what he said?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: There are no groups in dispute then. This is why I cannot get around why Ulster Bank cannot give these people a decision, even to tell them they are included in this, they have been impacted, and that the bank needs a little more time to work out the extent to which they have been impacted or to give them a figure. Why can the bank not give these people that information?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: It is not acceptable at all. I can accept complicated calculations in respect of the amounts owing but I cannot accept, given the bank is not in dispute with any groups, that after this many years it still cannot write to these people and tell them, "Yes, you are included in this. We will be back to you with a figure."

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: By the end of the year?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Ulster Bank (19 Jun 2018) Rose Conway Walsh: That is totally unacceptable. How many more of these cases does Mr. Stanley think there will be on top of the 5,500 cases of people who have not been contacted yet and the people who are at the end of the process of getting no communication whatsoever other than a 60-day letter?
