Pearse Doherty: Mr. Byrne went to Pepper and said he can refinance this at a rate of €305,000. From what he told me, I assume the outstanding loan is €340,000. There is no doubt that Pepper got a larger haircut than that when it purchased this loan in the first place. Has Pepper just point blank refused to sell the loan?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Pepper has obviously assessed Mr. Byrne's case and Mr. Byrne understands it will reject that offer. Is that correct?

Pearse Doherty: Where does Mr. Byrne see this going for himself? The ECB has signalled clearly that there will be another interest rate hike in July.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Absolutely. The reason Ms Irwin was not offered the deduction is that the institution was given an easy option, which was to sell all the mortgages to a vulture fund. This should never have happened. The banks had a responsibility to work through the issues, restructure the mortgages and offer discounts where required. Ms Irwin put it well when she talked about her kids. A family home is...
