Rose Conway Walsh: ...even the aggregate impact of it, why it is not making a difference in people's pockets. One can go back to the 23% which I do not want to do, but when one deals with averages, one knows that this does not mean anything to many people.

Rose Conway Walsh: Does Mr. Masding not think that the banks played a big part in that, banks like Permanent TSB, in reckless lending in the first instance and then when people were losing their jobs and being put into those financial situations because of the nationalising of the private debt of the banks? We have to look at the causes and ask why the level of non-performing loans is as high as it is. The...
