Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

AIB has reduced variable interest rates. The bank has not gone far enough. I want to see the engagement that the Department of Finance has every week with the Central Bank continue. The Government, as I said in the House yesterday, will meet the banks about an agenda of issues, including the bringing forward of a number of other actions in regard to mortgage distress. The priority for Government is that people do not have to lose their houses. Fully 100,000 have been settled satisfactorily and are paying their way. There are others in particular circumstances that need to be dealt with.
