The Taoiseach says the Government has lost all patience with the major banks over the tracker mortgage scandal.

Leo Varadkar made the comment as he told the Dáil the Minister for Finance plans to "admonish" bank CEOs at meetings he's called next week.

Up to 30,000 customers may have been defrauded by banks taking them off trackers.

Leo Varadkar says it's taken too long for justice to be done.

"It's our view that people should have had their tracker mortgages restored, and should have been fully compensated by now.

"As a Government, we've lost patience".

"As of the end of September, lenders have rectified the interest rates applies to approximately 98% of the customers who were affected.

"So in 98% of cases, people are no back on the interest rate that they are supposed to be on.

"However redress has been much slower, and the initial proposals fall short of the Central Bank's expectations".
