I will return to Mr. Hall's opening statement. He said that this situation could lead to 17,000 families being evicted unless an alternative is arranged. In discussing this with the banks, I asked them about iCare, how they are interacting with it, whether it is a solution and are they co-operating. Will Mr. Hall give us an idea of the success -or otherwise - of iCare? Will he also address the point he made in his opening statement that a NAMA-type organisation should be established? Would that work on the same principle as a NAMA-type organisation?
