Paul Connaughton
Ceist:124 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Finance if he will clarify the definition of a dormant bank account; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some banks are asking questions of clients who have money on account for just over a two year period where there has been no activity on the account since then, in spite of the fact that the clients in question are old age pensioners with very little financial resources; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
