Estate management fees is an issue raised regularly with me on the doorsteps. I raised it in the Dáil when a Member of that House. Young people in the Dublin area who are struggling to pay mortgages are also being hit with exorbitant estate management fees of €1,100-€1,200 per annum, which is a rip-off. This is nothing short of extortion. There is very little management of estates taking place with some people having only a bin provided in respect of the fee paid. I ask that the Leader invite the relevant Minister to the House to debate this issue. Our young people are suffering enough without having this money extorted from them under false pretences.
