Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the need for the Government to give greater financial assistance, advice and support to mortgage holders who fall into arrears as a result of loss of employment or serious illness, and to examine the aggressive practices that some sub-prime lenders such as Start Mortgages use to deal with such mortgage holders.
