I am calling for a debate on that issue. We have been pushing to see when this proposal by Fine Gael will be implemented. We now find that the Keane report is complete rubbish. The difficulty we have with the Keane report is that many of the members of the group were on the committee which published a report last October. The Government has not done anything to implement the findings of that report, which is a good one. The New Beginning was not invited to contribute to that committee. It suggested an excellent solution which works on a cross the board basis rather than on a case by case. Addressing the issue on a case by case basis is code for putting vulnerable borrowers in a room with a bank official who orders them to eat this for breakfast and go to that shop.
