Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)

I ask the Leader whether it would be possible to have a debate on the Irish Credit Bureau. In these more difficult times, in which people struggle to meet mortgage and other loan repayments, this matter must be addressed. I refer to the scenario whereby for legitimate reasons, someone misses a single payment but can be blacklisted by the Irish Credit Bureau. This would not reflect those individuals' true standing but could affect legitimate loan applications in these times in which it already is difficult to secure financing and funding.
