View answerThe Deputy will be aware on January 3, 2017 I received an open letter from the Home Sweet Home Group asking the same question the Deputy has posed here. That letter is available at the following location: http://tinyurl.com/h7zdsvl.
On 25 January 2017, I responded to the Home Sweet Home Group letter to inform them why their proposals were, for a number of reasons, not possible. As the Deputy has proposed a very similar suggestion in her question, I provide a link to the Department of Finance website containing my full response: www.finance.gov.ie/what-we-do/banking-financial-services/letter-minister-home-sweet-home-.
