Deputy Buttimer may have his chance to speak.

We have seen the code of conduct for mortgage arrears, which the Government supported, being changed. That allows for the banks to continue to telephone people in mortgage distress without restriction, and also call to their homes. We have seen the Dunne judgment, which despite its flaws was the only protection that stopped banks from moving in and repossessing family homes and evicting families onto the streets, undone by the Government. The targets we talked about were allowed to be corrupted, abused and bypassed. The banks were allowed to tick boxes by issuing letters of repossession.
