- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: I want an answer to the question. The Senator is entitled to the answer to the question and to put the question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: We have to ensure, well the next question that comes out we get the answer to that.

Bernard Durkan: I welcome the Governor and his colleagues to the meeting. I am sorry I was not present for the initial statement but I was not idle at the time. There are a couple of things that come to mind. The Governor mentioned fragmentation earlier on. He is correct. There is considerable evidence of that fragmentation throughout Europe. Europe spoke with one mind, appeared to speak with one...

Bernard Durkan: No, an economic one.

Bernard Durkan: I agreed with Mr. Makhlouf but, very often, political leaders require signals from the statutory agencies that are there to protect the institutions of the state and so on. At this stage, there is a need for messages from them, directed at home and abroad, from time to time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
Bernard Durkan: Mr. Makhlouf is coming close enough to it. I will move a step further, if I might. On the much-disputed FDI, the European court's decision was not meant to be of benefit to Ireland's foreign direct investment. That is not speculation; it is a fact. It is hoped by some people across the globe that it will have a lasting impact of a negative nature. I happen to know about that as well. I...

Bernard Durkan: I thank Ms Rowland.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: Going back to the opening statement, which is very comprehensive, there are a number of issues. The statement mentions the work the Central Bank is doing which is aimed at serving the public interest and protecting consumers and financial services. That has been discussed throughout this meeting. This committee is currently dealing with the Department with regard to the wind-up of IBRC and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: I am not asking that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: I am not asking that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: I accept that.

John McGuinness: When someone comes to me, however, and alleges fraud and other activities, which may be bordering on criminal, I expect the Central Bank to look at that, in an overall sense relevant to the entity. While the entity may be changing and moving, the receiver is still there. I am not satisfied at all that the Central Bank, in this case any way, is serving that particular public interest. If it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: I do, yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: I am not happy at all that the State can plough its way through the life of a family or families, as the case might be. I am not happy at all with it. I am not happy with the response received, with the IBRC or the receiver. There was sharp practice. I certainly wish for this matter to be examined. I will produce the paperwork and send it to the Central Bank.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: A lot has been said about consumer protection. Deputy Durkan raised the matter in the context of vulture funds. He is perfectly right. Vulture funds and banks have moved back to an old position. I dealt with one bank today. I have to say that banks are not as engaging as they used to be in sorting out issues for costumers. They generally reach for the standard letter telling people to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)
John McGuinness: Yes, I have noticed a shift backwards. I find the banks' behaviour appalling. Deputy Durkan is right; vulture funds are shocking in the way they treat people. When they contact me to query me on a particular file which I may not have with me at the time, they will then write to me to say I am not co-operating with them. I do not walk around with 20 files under my arm waiting for one of...
