I thank both Mr. Hall and Mr. Kennedy for their statements.

On mortgage interest relief in terms of the parameter for qualifying of having a mortgage remaining of more than €80,000, I know of many people where the amount of their outstanding mortgage is less than €80,000 and they happen to be people who are on very low incomes. They are people who are parenting on their own and are really struggling. What do our guests think the rationale was for ensuring those people would not benefit? Can they see the rationale?
