Joe O'Toole (Independent)

Some people dipped into their pension, and they should be jailed. In the meantime, I want to tell those workers that this is what the State is for. If I have to pay extra to do that, I will be happy to do so. If people in the public or private sector are in danger of losing their houses because they cannot meet their mortgage repayments and if we are prepared to insure banks, then we should also be able to insure ordinary people, and in a sensible way that does not pick up the slack for people who have never paid their mortgages.
