Does Ms Deering accept that the banks are now being unreasonable in saying to small builders that five houses amount to €1.5 million? That is not a small loan. Where a builder is already putting €300,000 or €400,000 into a development, the risk to the bank is very small. Is it not now time that the banks came back to the market and helped deal with the housing shortage?
