We have grave difficulty in finding things out from banks. People talk of the pressure being put on them by the banks and they tell us there has been an increased impetus towards repossessions, towards going to court and putting pressure on SMEs. Mr. Broderick speaks of fair play but individuals in the SME sector tell us of settlements they have brought to vulture funds and to those banks who have still not sold their portfolios. Do any union members work for vulture funds?
