    Please stop using “grilling” in relation to these stories.
    It gets me all excited then lets me down.

    Just what do the government hope to achieve by these so called inquisitions? Bring in a one year bankruptcy and a three year personal insolvency. Allow those able to pay market value for their homes to stay in them and a rent option for those on lower incomes. Then let nature take its course. The banks will do deals. Either way the money is lost. Its time to face up to reality and move on as a country.

    The only grill they’ll get is sunny side up.

    Actually each of the CEOs have made statement and assertions which can be used in mortgage arrears negotiations,

    The only disappointing element is that the figure of 20% of mortgages in 90 days or more arrears is a gross underestimation of the true depth of the crisis.

    The Irish Banks are grossly insolvent.

    I’m amused that the talk of strategic default has started to encourage people to look at this as an option. The genie is out of the bottle.
