The banks were bailed out in this country at a savage cost to the taxpayers and people of Ireland. The Taoiseach said today that housing was his number one priority. However, is he aware that the banks are delaying mortgages for applicants? They are asking if the applicants are being paid by their companies with the assistance of the employer wage subsidy scheme, which is not right. There are people waiting all year - hundreds of them - and some are dual applicants where a man and a woman are involved, and all they want to do is to start putting a roof over their heads. Is the Taoiseach aware the banks are delaying? Is it going to be the case they will want some kind of confirmation from applicants’ employers as to their ability to be paid for the next ten or 15 years?
