My Department is aware of an issue which has arisen in County Roscommon in relation to difficulties by applicants who have bought sites under the low cost sites scheme from obtaining mortgages from certain financial institutions. I understand that discussions are continuing between the Council and certain financial institutions in an effort to resolve this issue. My Department is also examining the matter with a view to addressing general policy issues that arise.
