Financial Provisions (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-15
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I have just one other point to raise, which is about the banks and mortgages. AIB has deferred the granting of mortgages to couples because one of the parties is on the Covid payment, even if the other person is quite entitled to draw a mortgage but because the application is a joint one AIB is deferring their application. That will nail small builders as a result and it is holding up progress. Could we access funding the same as the Germans are doing? Surely we are as good as them.
