I thank the Senators for their contributions. It is wrong to say that this Government has done nothing for people who find themselves in difficulty with a bank or somebody who has that loan sold onto a fund. There have been 17 actions and Bills to deal with this, beginning with the CCMA, and this is No. 18.

We have a structure in Ireland that is historic in nature. We have a psychological scar in our mindset about repossessions, which goes back to the Famine era.
