Suspension of mortgage order

Summary

Aengus Ó Snodaigh asks the Taoiseach to suspend the mortgage-interest-supplement commencement order until the personal insolvency Bill is enacted, but the Chair rules that the issue has already been dealt with.

The Taoiseach has just mentioned the personal insolvency Bill and that it would be published on Friday. Last week a commencement order regarding the mortgage interest supplement was laid before the House.

The Deputy's leader dealt with that.

I know that but since the Taoiseach has indicated that the banks must engage with the lenders who are in distress, and we do not know what is contained in the personal insolvency Bill because we have not seen it yet, could he ask the Minister for Social Protection to suspend that commencement order-----
