In January of this year, a woman by the name of Trish Flavin died suddenly leaving five children - twins aged five, a boy aged six and two girls aged 11 and 16. Her husband and I would argue strongly that this was a consequence of them being the victim of the tracker mortgage scandal. In 2016, they received an eviction notice and repossession order from the Bank of Ireland. On 14 February, they received an apology from the bank, yet the bank continued to proceed with the repossession. Will the Government ensure the mortgage special court Bill and courts (mortgage arrears) Bill will be fast-tracked? Will the Minister also ensure the family of Trish Flavin will not be evicted?
