Given credible analysis has reported the margin on mortgages in Ireland is more than three times that of the UK, with respect to the gap in the interest rates, that is very serious. It has very serious impacts on people trying to get somewhere to live. That then has very serious knock-on impacts for the economy in terms of housing supply, wage growth and pressures there.
