Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives and Focus Groups
1:20 pm
Dr. Seán Healy:
We make the argument that there must be some debt write-off on the family home, not on the properties people bought, such as the half dozen investment properties, which is a different issue. We need to work out a system starting with the debt that should be written off for the State and as that runs through the banks and so on.
