The programme for Government contains some very welcome measures for mortgage resolution. They are some of things myself and many others advocated in the last Dáil. Some of this is legislative and some just requires the provision of resources. I asked the Minister for Finance for an update about two months ago but he did not have one. The ambitions are good and what is in there is very welcome but we have not been able to find any timelines on legislative changes and other things. Does the Tánaiste have an update or can she come back to me with one on what is happening in terms of the commitment in the programme for Government around helping those in mortgage arrears?
