Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2013
190. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if he will outline any representations that he or his Department has received from, or on behalf of, borrowers at the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation in special liquidation, after the announcement of the special liquidation of IBRC on 6 February 2013. [18444/13]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, representations are received in a number of ways including representations through political representatives, from individuals directly, from legal representatives of clients of the bank etc. These representations are received through a number of channels including mail, e-mail and primarily by telephone contact. The overall number of written representations relating to borrowers of IBRC (in special liquidation) received since the 6th of February total 9. As a general rule the Department does not become involved in individual cases and will refer borrowers to the bank, to the Central Bank or to the Financial Services Ombudsman etc. as appropriate and depending on the circumstances of the case. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the content of personal representations that have been received.
