Aideen Hayden (Labour) | Oireachtas source

I have asked the Leader for a debate on the joint Oireachtas committee's report on mortgage arrears and the recommendations that committee has made in relation to some serious changes that could be made both to the code of conduct on mortgage arrears and to setting up an independent service to assist all mortgagees - not just the ones from AIB and EBS but all mortgage holders - to get independent advice and not to be at the mercy of individual banks. I am asking the Leader that we have that debate as a matter of urgency.

I welcome Deputy O'Sullivan's intervention to help unblock the process in relation to the merger between the Waterford and Cork institutes of technology to pave the way for a technological university in the south east. We are all well aware of the serious needs -----
