It is quite clear that the Chairman has very strong views on these issues. Nothing in this legislation deals with repossessions, evictions, arrears, the treatment of people in courts, insolvency or anything like that. The Bill is about giving the Central Bank the power to put a cap on variable mortgage interest rates. The issues raised by the Chairman are of great concern to many people, but they are not relevant to the legislation.
