Nine key principles to overcome debt
A statement by organisations & researchers working for those in debt.
A range of national organisations working with people facing poverty and homelessness because of the spiraling debt crisis have joined forces with independent policy researchers to produce a set of nine key principles to overcome the personal debt crisis.
The group, which includes FLAC, Ballymun and Northside Community Law Centres; Threshold, Focus Ireland, St Vincent de Paul, New Beginning and Respond! Housing Association, say these principles must be the basis for any policy to tackle the crisis in mortgage arrears and personal debt generally.
The principles were launched on 19 October 2011, Nine Debt Principles Joint Statement.pdf(PDF format).
The group is encouraging people to send an e-mail to their local TD demanding urgent action to help tens of thousands in mortgage crisis.
