Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This question about mortgages comes up every month when we deal with finance questions. Later this evening we will begin to see the procession of senior bankers appearing before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform. I am sure they will expect the Minister to hand them gold stars because they all claim to have reached their targets. The Minister and I know that they have done so through repossessions and voluntary surrender. Is the Minister satisfied with the pace at which the banks are offering and agreeing long-term solutions to mortgage holders in serious distress?
