We talked earlier on about energy and the energy windfall tax. Are there any plans to look at the banks and the profiteering that is taking place at the moment? Are there plans to look at how that money could be turned back into helping people with mortgage interest relief or by cutting out bank charges for people to make it easier for them to bank, rather than what we are seeing at the moment? While everybody is paying the price for the cost of living, we are seeing the banks make great profits.

What can be done to take some of that profit back to the State to help those people who have mortgages?
