Mortgage Insurance
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-31
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I wish to ask the Minister what engagements he has had with mortgage lenders regarding applicants who have not been able to draw down their mortgage. I refer to individuals who have conditions that may make them more susceptible to adverse outcomes if they contract Covid-19. They are not being provided with mortgage protection insurance. In some cases, they have paid a deposit for a house. They have been pre-approved for a loan from the bank but the bank is not letting them draw down that loan. What engagement has the Minister had on this?
