The programme for Government makes a commitment to setting up a new specialist court for people in mortgage distress. Obviously, setting up such a court requires significant new primary legislation. When can we expect to see the heads of Bills to establish such a court?

All I can confirm is that work is well under way in the Department on this issue. I will advise the Deputy as to the state of play in so far as when the heads of Bills come to Government and are likely to be published.
