Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 September 2018
63. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if the financial services ombudsman is in a position to respond to correspondence received by him relating to the case of a person (details supplied). [38035/18]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman is independent in the performance of his statutory functions. I have no role in the day to day workings of the Office and I am not in a position to answer this question.
I understand that the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman’s Office previously wrote to members of the Oireachtas regarding a designated person with responsibility for ensuring the timely provision of information to them. I also understand that a dedicated email address has been provided for members' queries. The Deputy may wish to make use of this dedicated channel to pursue this matter.
