I thank Deputy McGrath for his comments. The Department of Social Protection, my Department, actually has two services, the Citizens' Information Board and the Money Advice and Budgeting Service. We deal with some of these difficulties in terms of helping families who have problems. In fact, we have recently introduced a court mentoring service for people who have other mortgage difficulties and are going before the courts. The idea is to give people assistance when they need it.
