Mortgages special court Bill
Deputy O'Callaghan asked when the mortgages special court Bill will come before the House and whether it has reached pre-legislative scrutiny. The Tánaiste said it will go to the relevant committee for pre-legislative scrutiny in November.
I will refer to three proposed Bills for the purpose of finding out where they are. First, on the mortgages special court Bill, the Tánaiste will be aware that thousands of people are still struggling with their mortgage repayments. In 2012, the Fianna Fáil Party introduced a mortgage resolution office proposal, which was rejected by the then Government. When will the mortgages special court Bill be before the House? Has it gone through pre-legislative scrutiny?
