Practical measures can help keep families in their homes

Limerick TD, Kieran O'Donnell, believes series of simple and practical measures that can ensure the issue of mortgage distress will be underpinned by the goal of saving the family home where at all possible.  

For many years before being elected a TD for Limerick, I had my own chartered accountancy practice. I had one golden rule for clients, namely the family home was protected at all times.

This was based around a very simple logic — even if a business failed, so long as the family home was secure, a client had a better chance of starting afresh.
