View answerThe banks in which the State has a shareholding all include the cost of the Financial Advice Scheme as part of the wider costs of addressing mortgages in arrears. They do not disclose the cost of the scheme separately from Operating Costs, as listed in their respective financial reports. For further information on the implementation of the scheme the Deputy may wish to consult with the Department of Social Protection.
