asked the Minister for the Environment if he is aware of the significant number of families who have obtained house loans from local authorities, funded from his Department and who, by the loss of employment, i.e. redundancy and through no fault of their own, cannot continue with repayments; and if special assistance can be made available so that these families will not lose their homes.
