So it is not the case of creating a situation where there is much less empathy for the householder who is in difficulty with arrears by putting it at such a distance from the country? These people are much more removed from the daily circumstances of life in Ireland. Is that not putting people who want to talk to the bank about problems at a significant disadvantage?
