The committee has been asked to look into the possible introduction of a mortgage insurance scheme. The delegates are probably aware that such schemes were quite common in the 1980s and early 1990s before we got into the heady days of the Celtic tiger, particularly among people who were in impermanent employment, etc. Do the delegates have a view on this issue? If they cannot outline their view today, are they prepared to submit a view to the committee in writing? It would help us in our deliberations on the mortgage insurance scheme issue.
