Ross Maguire, Barrister Ross Maguire: Mortgage-debt deal can save families as well as banks - Independent.ie
Oh! I’m so tired. I need a few researchers just to keep up with developments. This is turning into a full time chore.
This OP is short - the links have most of the up-to-date information. Tonight’s show, again presented by Alison O’Connor, will look at the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears and THOSE Anglo Tapes [are you keeping up with developments?]. Why does the Central Bank's new code of conduct on mortgage arrears favour the banks over distressed mortgage holders?
One thing that struck me in all the hoo-ha today:
Thugs in politics - well, I never …
The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, was branded a "political thug" over his handling of the scandal surrounding the Anglo Irish Bank tapes and was accused of trying to smear politicians with his claims that there had been an "axis of collusion" between the former government and bankers in the run-up to the banking collapse. Fianna Fail justice spokesman Niall Collins launched a blistering attack on Mr Kenny, saying he had shown no respect for politics.
Quote:
The Taoiseach should not be alleging what he [Michael Martin] is. He came in here and he tried to smear politicians in a sleeveen sort of way, He has no respect for politics. He is acting like a political thug, a political boot boy in a party political fashion.
Mr Kenny has called for some current members of the Fianna Fail party and former politicians who served in the last government to appear before a parliamentary inquiry into the banking collapse to give their account of what went on.
Should be a good show, well worth viewing …
