Order of Business (16 Jan 2014)

Pearse Doherty: I wish to ask a question about the Government's political reform agenda. It was stated that during future recess periods, Deputies should be able to access the facility of parliamentary questions, but will that happen at the end of this term?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mortgage Arrears Proposals (16 Jan 2014)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome the fact that 46% have been offered deals but the devil is in the detail and when one goes into the detail, one finds from individual banks that thousands of those offers have been letters of repossession.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mortgage Arrears Proposals (16 Jan 2014)

Pearse Doherty: I am sure the Minister is aware of the reason this question was put down. While I acknowledge some very small progress in dealing with mortgage arrears, it is painfully slow. This is deeply frustrating for tens of thousands of families who are in mortgage distress and in arrears, and who have not had a long-term restructuring offer from the bank. The figures the Minister released recently...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mortgage Arrears Proposals (16 Jan 2014)

Pearse Doherty: I have no doubt of the Minister's sincerity in wanting this issue resolved, and nobody in their right mind would want to see families that have fallen into this position being left lingering there.

The Taoiseach promised the Dáil earlier that he will bring Irish Water under the ambit of the freedom of information legislation.
