View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that my officials and I regularly meet at various levels with representatives of the banks. Based on a reasonable search of the material available in my Department in respect of the question asked, the information below sets out the meetings held.
The Deputy will be aware that I met at senior management level with the main banks listed in May and September of 2015 on the issue of standard variable rate mortgages. (EBS was discussed at the meeting with AIB.)
In addition, I met the CEO of PTSB in March 2015 and the CEO of AIB in May 2015.
These meetings do not include informal discussions in the margins of other events/engagements.
