Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The spring economic statement will issue next week and in the following week the Government will bring forward a number of options for dealing with distressed mortgages where it is necessary that something extra be done. I made the point previously that the Government's priority is to ensure that people do not lose their homes. There is a requirement for sustainable solutions to be brought forward in all of these cases, and this requires decisions to be made in a practical way. The Government will bring forward a number of measures in the week after next in that regard. I hope the Deputy will contribute constructively to the debate when it takes place.
