Dermot Ahern

Ceist:

99 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment if he will set up an ombudsman's office or arbitration tribunal to mediate on all issues relevant to mortgages and disputes arising therefrom; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Smith)

I have no such proposal in view of the existence of the Ombudsman for the Credit Institutions who has been appointed by banks and building societies to deal with unresolved complaints by customers against these institutions, including complaints related to mortgages.
