From their own website it says "Under the SEPA Direct Debit* scheme, you the consumer have the right to:
Use your bank account to pay a Direct Debit in any SEPA country."
...so much for that!

The European Payments Council (EPC) – an alliance of European banking/payments industry representative bodies – was established in 2002 to deliver SEPA. The EPC’s constitution gives it decision-making status on behalf of its payments industry members.
The EPC draws its representation from the three categories of banks in Europe – commercial banks, savings banks and co-operative banks. In Ireland, only those banks active in the retail payment system are represented. These are AIB, Bank of Ireland, Permanent TSB, Ulster Bank, National Irish Bank and BNP Paribas. The EPC has a number of working and support groups, the work of which is guided by a Co-ordination Committee; in addition, the EPC Plenary meets four times each year.
What specific Irish law is Ulster Bank breaking here?
Could be....but...It could be a grand conspiracy against the OP.
As he explained in his post, they are set up for SEPA, as evidenced by the fact that other transactions are being handled that way already.Or it could be just that Ulster Bank's inter a systems and processes have not been set up yet for SEPA (which is why the extension until August was given!).
What law will they be breaking on the 1st of August if they persist?None. Until SEPA is fully mandated from 1st August.
What law will they be breaking on the 1st of August if they persist?
