Central Bank governor urges patience over tracker probe

Central Bank governor Philip Lane urged patience with the ongoing tracker mortgage scandal investigation while in Cork yesterday but conceded the public needed more regular updates.

He said that the review of tracker mortgages involved two million accounts, and to ensure a fair outcome for consumers, the review had to be painstaking.

Following briefings at UCC and Cork Chamber, Mr Lane declined to comment on whether the number of customers put on the wrong tracker could be upwards of 20,000.
