I take that as read. In the society's discussions, did it consider issues such as mortgage distress or negative equity? I hear the points being made by Mr. O'Connell and the society clearly has thought out the various models in a thorough manner. However, in real terms and in real time, it is not a theoretical proposition and those very people who have paid the transaction tax will be hit again with yet another charge. Did this issue feature in the society's thinking?
