Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process: (Resumed) Ulster Bank

2:10 pm

Mr. Jim Brown:

I might ask my colleague, Mr. Bell to provide some of that detail. As I mentioned in my opening statement, the targets are the targets and we need to comply with them. Our focus is on doing the right thing by our customers. We believe there are specific issues with the way the targets are set. I refer, for example, to the question of whether people who still have mortgages when they retire should be determined sustainable. Mr. Bell might add to that.
