Hi Brendan, How about we get a march going, I have never been involved in a march before and wouldnt know much about organising one, but spread the word, pick a venue (outside the dail) pick a date and time and get as many of us 300,000 people affected involved.
What do you think?
I am actually in favour of banks repossessing homes.Banks on the continent would simply enforce their security on defaulting loans and this feeds into a lower cost of credit.
Would posters feel comfortable carrying placards calling for "evictions now"?
I know I wouldn't.

Let's be clear though if there are not enough repossessions in Ireland is because the banks want it that way. Mainly because there is no enough equity in those repos.
Partly...but lets not be in any doubt that this is also Govt (and indeed all opposition parties) policy. How many times has Enda Kenny said at this stage that it's an absolute priority of his Govt to 'keep people in their family homes', no matter how unaffordable those homes now are or how they were acquired in the 1st placeLet's be clear though if there are no renough repossessions in Ireland is because the banks want it that way.

Exactly. Pure populist claptrap. As someone who actually saved hard during the 'Tiger' years, bought a small house that was very affordable but also is now way too small having acquired a family since then!, drove an old car, took no holiday, and continued to save for my next house, I am sickened to the back teeth by all this talk of keeping people in the 'family home' at all costs, no matter the reality of their situation.Or no matter whether they have attempted to pay anything or engage with their lender.
I honestly think they both have the same agency and act in the same way.You don't believe that political interference / pressure from the government has limited their options?
And specifically the legal lacuna introduced in the Land Act 2009 that wasn't fixed until for over 5 years in 2013! http://www.lkshields.ie/publication...law-reform-act-2013-an-end-to-start-mortgages
