Why then were the banks recapitalised? Mr. MacSharry is obviously aware of fact that, following the stress test, money was allocated by Irish taxpayers to the institutions to meet mortgage losses on their books. The bank has pocketed this money and intends, based on Mr. MacSharry's comments, to pursue people to the ends of the earth in respect of mortgages. Will there be no write-off of debt whatsoever?
