Unleash Your Night: Discover the Must-Watch New Shows Premiering Tonight!
Pick of the Week: Trackers: The People vs. The Banks
Monday, RTÉ One, 9.35pm
Buckle up, darlings, because tonight, a scandal unfolds that could make the strongest of hearts tremble. In the aftermath of the late-noughties financial crash, banks-greedy, profit-hungry entities-moved many unsuspecting homeowners from secure tracker mortgages to punishing high-interest fixed loans, igniting Ireland’s most notorious banking scandal. Picture it: over 40,000 families plunged into distress, grappling with financial ruin, health issues, and shattered relationships, all while their homes hung precariously in the balance. This two-part documentary pulls back the curtain, revealing the harrowing stories of those most affected, through their struggles and the champions who fought for their justice. With banks eventually stung by fines surpassing €1 billion, one has to ponder: will the wealthy learn from their misdeeds, or are we merely putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound?
