-----to explain how he will help the 40,000 families who now are in danger of losing their homes? One's home is everything. He managed to secure a moratorium on foreclosures for 12 months. However, those couples who ran into difficulty at the end of 2008 now are at real risk of losing their homes. People are sick and tired of the Minister's actions in bailing out Anglo Irish Bank while he does not act to save people's homes. Moreover, fixed-rate mortgages have crippling breakage costs that no one can tackle and it is expected that 300,000 more people will be on the dole by the end of 2010. When will the Minister for Finance act for the people and give something back to them instead of simply bailing out banks?
