Enda Kenny ‘all talk’ on bank rates - Micheál Martin

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been accused of being all talk and no action after he again branded the way banks are refusing to pass on interest cuts to variable rate mortgage holders as “unfair”.

Opposition parties rounded on his stance, insisting he was turning a blind eye to what was going on rather than making the lenders help struggling families.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin raised the issue in the Dáil, warning that 300,000 variable rate mortgage holders had been repeatedly let down by the Government.
