Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Words no longer mean anything in here. The Taoiseach can keep on denying whatever he wants to deny but it does not strike a chord with the reality on the ground. He spoke about the Central Bank targets. Does he know the figure for the threat of legal repossession under those targets? Sixty per cent of the sustainable solutions offered were with the threat of legal repossession. Those are his Central Bank targets. I am not making up that figure. That is official and on the record. The 13,000 letters sent out by AIB, Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank are not my figures; they were formally presented to an Oireachtas committee.

The Taoiseach can rubbish Fitch if he wishes. We will give him that. I will not rubbish it but the Taoiseach can do so. These other figures are official figures-----
