  The "F" Word

  Next Monday 21st May, The Frontline will hold a debate on the Fiscal Treaty in advance of the referendum on May 31st.

  

  
  Stability or austerity? Good housekeeping or an unacceptable erosion of sovereignty? There is dispute even about what to call the Treaty we will be voting on, never mind what it will mean if it is passed.

  Where's the Justice?

  Tonight – a legal special. Relations between the various branches of the legal profession and the Government are, shall we say, somewhat strained at present. Mostly that’s because of the Legal Services bill published last week which promises reform and regulation of the sector. Minister for Justice Alan Shatter is with us to explain how his legislation will mean lower legal bills. And then barristers and solicitors will explain how it will mean higher legal bills. So who is right?

  

  And it’s not just lawyers at odds with the Minister – but judges too. Next week when you decide who will be the ninth president of Ireland you’ll also be asked if we should make two changes to the constitution. Do you know what you’re voting for? Tonight former Chief Justice Ronan Keane is with us to talk about the referendum on judicial pay. And we’ll be debating if that and the so-called Abbeylara referendum on Oireachtas inquiries gives too much power to our politicians.

  The Price of Property

  We were obsessed with house prices during the boom and are now even more so. Of the 790,000 residential mortgages in the state 1 in 8 can be classed as ‘in trouble’ and a massive 300,000 are in negative equity. If prices were to rise again it might help solve our mortgage time-bomb. If they don’t rise what then? Well that’s something that the cabinet will be deciding on tomorrow when they discuss a report on how to ease the burden of debt. What will they recommend – more forebearance, interest only repayments, negative-equity mortgages? Will any proposals falling short of debt forgiveness be enough?

  

  Do join us, on The Frontline on RTÉ 1 at 10.35pm.
