The Minister is not offering any creative solutions to this problem. There are people who have businesses and who are in employment breaking their backs to meet the conditions. We are talking about people who have made great personal sacrifices. I can certainly offer several creative solutions. Practically any accountant in town would. I was personally involved in setting up Abhaile and the other schemes as a way to help people survive and come out of the crisis with their family homes intact. I am not sure that the Minister really recognises that the risk now is that families who have entered agreements could find themselves swept into the arms of non-registered entities which will give them no security to be able to hold onto their family homes. That is the dilemma to which the Minister must offer creative solutions.
