I am asking the Leader to ask the Taoiseach about this matter.

More than four weeks ago, the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, clearly told us that a mortgage arrears implementation strategy would be published in advance of the budget. Where is it? Is there any legislation from the Government for dealing with mortgage arrears and distressed mortgages? The Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, will not even confirm that he will publish it before Christmas.
