Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Tim Molan:

The exact wording in the section on concentration limits for a community loan is as follows: "where such a loan would cause the total amount of outstanding community loans to exceed 25% of the credit union's regulatory reserve". If the credit union's regulatory reserve is 10%, then 25% of that is 2.5%.

This is not a level playing field. Those restrictions are not imposed on our competitors, the banks.
