Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022) Verona Murphy: I am sorry; that is not what I asked Ms Deering. Somebody on €250,000 a year will never resonate with the reality of someone with an average income who is trying to get a mortgage. People watching today's meeting will say that neither Ms Deering nor I know what we are talking about. The reality is that the HBFI appears to have made houses less affordable.
