Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I have two issues, one which has been raised by other Members and me on previous occasions. It relates to promised legislation that will protect mortgage holders finding themselves unemployed or unable to meet their mortgage repayments. What progress has been made on this and is the production of this legislation in hand currently, given that mortgage arrears are increasing on a daily basis? In some cases, rolled-over loans are being offered to people already in great difficulty.
