On the issue raised by Deputy Pearse Doherty, will the Tánaiste comment on whether it would be possible, through an amendment to the promised legislation on the Central Bank or otherwise, to encourage the creation of a code of conduct applicable to primary and secondary lending agencies that are in the course of repossessing large tracts of household property all over the country, which is exacerbating the serious housing problem?

That matter is under review by the Department of Finance, as is the issue of moneylenders. I suspect, therefore, that the Minister of Finance will revert to the Deputy.
