This question relates to the legislative or other steps the Government proposes to take in order to tackle the ongoing mortgage crisis faced by the State. We are all aware of the increasing number of families appearing before courts throughout the country in the context of repossessions. Is the Government developing a view on this matter and does it intend to put forward proposals to empower the courts to consider circumstances in which banks are vetoing solutions? Is it considering establishing an independent body? How does the Government propose to deal with this crisis, which is engulfing many families throughout the State and resulting in people losing their homes?
