"Margaret Ritchie must spell out when her promised mortgage rescue scheme will become a reality" - Maskey

Published: 9 September, 2008

Sinn Féin MLA Alex MAskey has called on Margaret Ritchie to spell out when her promised mortgage rescue scheme will become a reality.


Cllr Maskey said,


"Many hundreds of people face losing their homes because they are unable to maintain excessive mortgage payments.


The Minister promised earlier this year that a package would be forthcoming but it now appears that this has been put on the long finger and there will be no announcement until next spring. This is unacceptable.


The minister needs to clarify her position as soon as possible."
