    Shane Ross on Matt Cooper now ...

    The Financial Regulator said yesterday that Property developers owe the banks €39 billion ... €15 billion of which is "vunerable" and may not be ever paid back ...

    Banks have massively over leant to property developers.

    Still listening now ...

    Never any spot checks on banks over the last years...

    Financial regulator continuously folded to "pressure" from the banks ...

    I'm listening, the man is a disgrace. Esp when you think back over the overcharging scandals.

    So the banks are going to just write off 40% of the money they loaned to property developers?

    Any chance they'd write off 40% of my mortgage? Sounds fair to me...
