With due respect, that is six years ago. The ordinary person would not be entitled to turn around to a bank and ask if it would give him or her six years to get his or her mortgage up to date. In a lot of cases, the banks have gone in and repossessed these homes. I do not buy that and the ordinary person outside does not buy it. Why was the Central Bank so slow to move and does it accept that it is a failure on the part of the Central Bank not to move on the issue properly before now?
