Central Bank consolidation Bill
Deputy Durkan called for the Central Bank consolidation Bill to be brought forward quickly to curb aggressive lending and repossessions. The Tánaiste said it was being drafted and would try to provide a more accurate date.
There is an urgent need to bring the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill before the House with a view to curtailing the activity of lenders which are now aggressively pursuing home owners and small business people with the intention of repossessing, and dispossessing them of, their houses, adding to an already serious housing situation. When might we expect that Bill to come before the House?
