I thank our guests. I will follow on from what Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh said. I was also going to ask what relief, if any, would be considered for those with mortgages of less than €80,000, given that these people are still at the mercy of high interest rates, coupled with the high cost of living. I am spokesperson for older people for Sinn Féin but many people who are coming into my office are in that bracket, as they are older, and they are concerned that there is nothing. To hear Ms Costello saying that €22 million would make a difference is disappointing. Can anything be done about that? Is consideration being given to the matter.
