What gives any Government the right to prioritise assistance to the very banks that are foreclosing on customers on whom they almost forced loans in the boom years? Following enactment of the NAMA legislation, the spate of repossessions will rise with families, who should be encouraged and assisted to remain in their homes, being forced on to the street.
