Before Deputy Doherty moves on to that topic, I wish to ask a question of the witnesses. What do they think of two banks appearing before an Oireachtas committee and saying that because of what they did 14 families lost their homes? What would they say to them? The banks openly admitted they did wrong and that what they did caused the loss of homes in 14 cases.
