Over 50% of Irish mortgages are in negative equity, according to Davy stockbrokers.

Adding that they need to take serious action about writedowns and repossessions, particularly in the buy-to-let market.
A key factor for people falling behind in their mortgage repayments has been highlighted as labour market developments.
Davy stated: "Falling employment and rising long-term unemployment has reduced households' ability to pay."
