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

The stockbrokers said that banks need to move beyond short-term mortgage measures.

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."
