Redundancy and local authority loans

Summary

Leonard asked whether local authorities could temporarily accommodate borrowers facing redundancy rather than taking over their homes. The Ceann Comhairle ruled the matter separate from the question, and Leonard maintained it was relevant.

Perhaps the Minister would look at the problem of people faced with redundancies and where the local authorities are compelled to take over the house. Would the Minister consider a joint system where the local authorities and the owner could make some arrangement, if only on a temporary basis, until the person gets employment and is able to pay for his loan again?

It is not relevant to the question.

It is relevant to an extended loan because that will be more serious.

I do not think it is.
