I propose to take Questions Nos. 280 and 281 together.
On 23rd November last I announced the Terms of Reference for the Retail Banking Review. On the same date, I wrote to the Chair of the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach informing him of the review and inviting any contributions the Committee or Members may wish to make in advance of the public consultation process or at any time throughout the course of the Review.
The Retail Banking Review team has commenced its work and it is well advanced in its research phase. In addition, fieldwork for the survey of consumers will begin in mid-February 2022 with results from the survey expected in April 2022
A public consultation process will be launched at a public seminar, which is expected to be held at the end of April. Members of the public and stakeholders will be invited to make submissions on issues that fall within the Terms of Reference of the Review.
Separate to the public consultation, the Review team has already written to a wide range of stakeholders (more than 100 in total) to draw their attention to the Review and to welcome submissions on issues that fall within the Terms of Reference at any time using the dedicated mailbox (bankingreview@finance.gov.ie). A list of these stakeholders is attached.
