John McGuinness: ...to the numbers being threatened with repossession. We should stop it through legislation and prevent families from losing their homes. We did it with all of the larger accounts and transferred them to NAMA. Why can we not set up some sort of agency that will take over the mortgages that have gone wrong, keep people in their homes and allow them to work it out? Why do we allow vulture...

John McGuinness: Okay, we can check on that. I was going to mention something for the same date. We were dealing with an issue involving Castlemartyr and NAMA, and we have not received a response on that. I am not advocating for whatever is happening there but I just want an update on it. We could get a response from the Revenue Commissioners, but not from NAMA. Should we not get a response from NAMA we...
