I will continue to follow up on this matter. It is very important, not only for those directly affected who are looking to draw down a mortgage but also because the programmes that we have in place now will be in place throughout much of 2021. It is important in the context of our mortgage market continuing to operate and mortgages continuing to be issued, that broad schemes which will continue in some format into and for most of 2021, are not an impediment to people accessing a loan. It has to be done on a case-by-case basis but I hope and expect that if an employer is willing to vouch for and provide evidence of the continued viability of the company, this would be an important element in the evaluation of a loan application. I assure the Deputy that I will continue to raise this matter
