Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This question raises once again the issue of standard variable mortgage interest rates, an issue we debated in this House on a number of occasions. The purpose of the question is to get an update from the Minister on the steps he is taking to address the issue of excessive standard variable mortgage interest rates in Ireland, to obtain details of his engagement with the Governor of the Central Bank and the banks, and to update the House on progress on this key issue.
