Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason mortgage interest relief has been reduced or terminated in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare; if the decision in this case is in accord with general policy in that, if pursued nationally will lead to large scale home repossessions; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
