'We need to be consistent': Mortgage lending during pandemic needs clarification, consumer expert says

Some institutions, such as Bank of Ireland, are looking at applications on a case-by-case basis.

Mr Burgess says consistency is critical.

The Taoiseach and Public Expenditure Minister are 'wrong' to express concerns of banks lending policies to those on Covid-19 state supports, according to a consumer expert.

The comments come after AIB have paused all mortgage applications for people on the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme, while Permanent TSB needs assurance from an employer before allowing customers to draw down a loan.
