This year’s Conference will be the first YFG National Conference in the organisation’s 44-year history to be held online, and I also hope that it will be the last. The pandemic has forced all of us in YFG to adapt quickly and dynamically to remain relevant and on this front, I believe we have succeeded. Our policies and campaigns have focussed on advocating for sensible, practical solutions to issues relevant to young people. We have sought to modernise Young Fine Gael through the relaunch of our website, the expansion of our social media presence to new platforms and a larger audience and the launch of the YFG Women’s Network, placing a renewed focus on the importance of greater female participation in politics. For the first time in its history, YFG was forced to run the entirety of its recruitment campaign online as Ireland went into lockdown. Despite the challenges we faced, our branches across the country can take pride in the fact that together, we delivered YFG’s first year-on-year increase in membership since 2016.

To ask the Minister for Finance to immediately bring 'non-banks' under the emergency mortgage moratorium scheme for the period of the COVID-19 crisis; and if he is willing to make a statement on this matter. On 18 March last I met with Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) and the CEOs of the five main retail banks and following that meeting the banks outlined a coordinated approach to supporting their personal and business customers who have been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis. A number of important support measures were outlined for impacted borrowers including payment breaks of up to three months for mortgages and other loans. The following day, the BPFI confirmed that the main credit servicing firms and non-bank mortgage lenders would also support the Covid-19 related range of measures adopted by the main retail banks. More generally it should also be noted that the Central Bank of Ireland has stated, when dealing with their customers who have been impacted by Covid-19, that it expects all regulated firms, including banks, retail credit and credit servicing firms, to take a consumer-focused approach and to act in their customers’ best interests.
