'No consent, no sale' bill opponents deny 'batting for the banks'

Department of Finance officials vehemently rejected accusations by a TD that they are “batting for the banks” by opposing the so-called “no consent, no sale” bill.

The bill proposed by Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty and approved by TDs in the Dáil would prevent banks from selling customers’ home loans without borrower approval.
