I am making a general comment on the matter. The borrower has put it down on paper and asked a question that has already been pursued by Deputy Tóibín. The borrower is willing to do his or her best but will not be able to maintain the full debt, for whatever reason. The debt has been sold, probably at a discount, and, because of that, the borrower is asking for sympathetic consideration.
