I do not disagree with quite a lot of what Deputy Murphy has said. I am totally on the same page as her about people who may not be able to pay their mortgages and I saw a lot about this on television recently. It is a really tough situation for them. The problem is that there are inefficiencies in the company, which is acknowledged by the staff and the management. I cannot give money to Expressway. Full stop. I cannot do that. It has to be sorted out by them. Those inefficiencies are a common mantra they use and I cannot intervene by paying money because it is totally against the rules. That would be state aid and illegal.
