They complain about not being able to get...

Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022) Brian Stanley: I impress on Ms Deering that she should use every instrument she has to try to ensure not only that bonds are secure but also that they are sufficient.

Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022) Brian Stanley: Ms Deering will be aware of the new spatial strategy about growing the regional cities, providing a counterbalance to Dublin and so on.
