Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is calling for looser financial regulation and 97% mortgages for people who have been refused loans. Regulation has to be dynamic and I am aware that the SSM is considering the way split mortgages are classified. Perhaps a decision will be made to change those regulations. If we are going to loosen financial regulations, make credit more available and bring back 97% mortgages, we should do so with the medium and long-term horizon in mind and ensure that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past.
