"Catherine was working for UK banks... and they were repossessing houses. I was working in the credit union, and I was actually helping people to stay in their houses, through what was an extremely, extremely difficult financial situation. Catherine needs to come out and say exactly who she was working for and how many homes were repossessed."
"For a candidate for the presidency to misuse that in the way she has, it's just a new low."
"never tried to make money out of people's misfortune"
Heather Humphreys plans to take a tougher stance and demand answers about Catherine Connolly's past legal work for banks, focusing on repossessions. Fine Gael links Connolly's barrister work for UK banks to alleged hypocrisy over repossessions she condemned in the Dáil. Connolly rejects the attacks and calls the comments a "new low," saying she has addressed the issue repeatedly. Humphreys contrasts her own credit union work helping people remain in their homes during the financial crash with Connolly's bank-related legal work. The confrontation will center on a Prime Time TV debate tomorrow.
