Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

My colleague from Westmeath, Senator McFadden, called for a debate on fixed rate mortgages. This is something we should have over the next few weeks and I will endeavour to have the debate take place. It is urgent and pressing. It is a difficult matter but those who have lost their jobs are caught in a very difficult situation. Given that we, as legislators, are doing so much to help out and assist the financial institutions in the national interest we must see what we can do to address the difficultly in which many people seem to have got caught up.
