A Steering Group, comprising senior representation from Government Departments and the Central Bank, has been established to oversee and drive the implementation of the various recommendations of the Mortgage Arrears group across Government. As part of this, separate working groups have also been established to progress the individual work items and these individual groups report to the overall Steering Group. The Department of Social Protection is the lead Department on the mortgage advisory function work stream. It is the Government's intention to continue to work intensively on this item, and also on other work streams, and to significantly advance all the measures in the early part of 2012.
