Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Mortgage Insurance Schemes: Discussion

1:35 pm

Mr. Ross Maguire:

I will not cross swords with Mr. Karl Deeter and Irish Mortgage Brokers but I feel the Governor is correct regarding the consequences of excess credit. It is only a couple of years since we crashed the ship of State on the rocks and this crash occurred due to arguments suggesting home ownership is good and should be undertaken as quickly as possible. These arguments failed spectacularly and we should not repeat recent mistakes.
