Patrick McCartan
Ceist:21 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if his attention has been drawn to the increase of up to 21 per cent recently announced by the Bank of Ireland in respect of banking charges; if, in light of the substantial profits made by the banks and the level of the increases in banking charges, he will consider the possibility of introducing legislation to subject such charges to price control; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
