Of course I do when the Minister's answer is wrong. The bank managers do not have discretion to buy a paperclip never mind restructure mortgages. The banks all have central arrears units dealing with that. If the Minister does not know that, where are we going? I asked when the medium-term fiscal statement would be published. On the budget, will he be finalising the figure right up to the first weekend of December?
