When representatives of one of the banks appeared before the committee, we questioned them at length on repossessions and contacting individuals who lost their homes. After that session I received a call from one of the victims, who was livid at the testimony given by the banks. They outlined to me in detail how in their view, the banks had misled the committee. They told me very clearly that their only option was to take the bank to court, a course of action they were taking. Has Mr. Kissane encountered many individuals for whom the end solution may be to take a case on behalf of a representative group? Mr. Kissane has spoken about this previously. Is that something he is still considering? Is he familiar with many individuals who are willing to take such a case?
