You are invited to attend, or send a representative, to the launch of a Report on will launch a Report on Hearings on Matters relating to Mortgage Arrears Resolution Processes by the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform on Tuesday, 8th July at 2.30pm in the A/V Room of Leinster House.
Committee Chairman Ciarán Lynch said: “The difficulties faced by homeowners who have entered arrears is a matter of national concern. For too long, the mortgage arrears crisis was left to develop. The absence of any mechanism to address this issue inevitably created a ‘state of paralysis’ where both debtors and creditors found themselves in a rapidly deteriorating situation. The Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform recognized the lack of progress in finding reasonable solutions when it first examined this issue. The Committee sought, above all, that a process be set in place that would address the issue of debt sustainability. Tomorrow the Committee will publish a report that contains a series of concrete and feasible recommendations that seek to address the issue in a sustainable way.”
