Mortgage Lending
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-16
============================================================

Paul McAuliffe (FF), Dublin North-West

I thank the Minister and I accept his bona fides in this matter. As well as the responsibility that we have, and as someone who purchased a home in 2008, I know all about the issues relating to protecting those people who may not have long-term financial security. We also, however, have to ensure that we have a functioning housing market and that we continue to allow people who can to purchase a home. I thank the Minister and I urge him to maintain the pressure he is placing on the banks, both this afternoon and in the coming days.
