Fianna Fáil brands Michael Noonan's assessment of their bill on mortgage repayments 'nonsense'

Claims by Finance Minister Michael Noonan that a Fianna Fáil bill caused a 10% drop in bank share prices were described as “nonsense” at an Oireachtas committee this morning, writes Daniel McConnell of the Irish Examiner.

Mr Noonan made his comments after the bill, which seeks to help people with their mortgage repayments, was published.
