The debt solutions Deputy Donnelly refers to are solutions the Government promoted. Over the past couple of years we have given priority to dealing with the mortgage crisis many are experiencing. We have introduced and discussed with the banks a range of measures which can be taken to address these problems, including the introduction of the personal insolvency service, the arrangements for split mortgages and a variety of approaches institutions can take to avoid putting people out of their homes.
