I met with Senior Management in Ulster Bank today - following on from a series of letters written to them over the last year (38 letters)They further refused to acknowledge the emails which I had received in a data protection request except to say that one in particular shouldn't have been committed to writing.
When offered this meeting several weeks ago, I was most clear that we had had many less than insightful interactions and a meeting in which they told me they couldn't give a timeline, couldn't tell the answer or would say no was not of any use and a waste of my time.
I was only interested in a meeting in which the aim was a constructive resolution and I expected the senior management at the meeting to have the wherewith all to do so.
i gave them two dates in November and today. I received a letter last week naming today's date, the other two had passed by then. I assumed they had read and understood the letter which I had sent.
When I met the Senior Management today - they said they felt I was frustrated and that I could benefit from them telling me face to face that they are working under the guidance of the central bank and they have no idea when they will have the work completed. They would not be drawn on any time lines except to say a small number of people would get letters this month but the vast majority would be in the new year and all by the end of March 2017.
This is in direct contradiction with what was said last week at the finance committee meeting. They had absolutely no further information and the meeting was a total and utter waste of my time - I was not surprised to be honest but disgusted at their further blatant disregard for my time. I presume also the meeting had the aim of getting me to stop writing to them but it shall have the opposite effect
