Historically, repossessions in Ireland have been low and this continues to be the case. Recent statistics from the Central Bank show that all financial institutions operating in Ireland hold a relatively small number of repossessed houses. The Deputy will appreciate that disposal of repossessed houses is a commercial decision for the institution concerned.
