‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Bank debit card service disruption
Summary
Deputy Calleary asks whether the Government will sanction banks for service disruptions causing inconvenience to customers. The Tánaiste says he has no information on new legislation but will have the Minister reply.
There has been a serious disruption this morning in the debit card services of one of our leading banks. The Government has done a great deal of work to encourage people to use debit cards in recent years but this is not the first service disruption by a bank. Does the Government plan to introduce financial sanctions for banks for service disruptions which cause huge inconvenience and stress to users?
