That is exactly the situation I am talking about, where people are being refused on that basis where it is like for like. While some of the piping infrastructure may be reutilised, they are locked out of applying again, and that really has to be rectified. It is something my colleague Deputy Eoin Ó Broin is following up on as well to get that anomaly cleared.
I have taken up quite a lot of time. I thank the witnesses for the valuable information they have submitted to the committee today in trying to deal with this once and for all. They have been very clear in their submissions on what has not been done and what needs to be done. It is a desperate situation where we are this many years down the line and we still find financial institutions are still treating them this way.
