Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-16
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I thank the Acting Chairman. I want to ask about the banks and the rip-off that is currently going on of the 160.000 people who availed of a mortgage break. The banks, obviously, originally lied and stated that they had to charge interest before it was revealed that they did not have to. They have been choosing to charge interest costing a married couple on average over €6,000. The question is, what will the Minister do about it? How will he stop this rip-off?
