In one estate in Kilkenny an agent issued letters to residents, some of whom lived in housing owned by the county council. These house were not in the agent's portfolio, yet representatives of the agency in question visited the estate and knocked on doors. That is the carry-on Members experience on the ground. As I outlined, in one case a representative of an agency knocked on the door of an elderly person and asked the person to leave the property within one or two weeks, even though negotiations were ongoing with the local council. I ask Professor Lane to examine that matter. I will submit all of the material in my possession to the Central Bank and hope other members will do likewise.

I have some questions about the credit union sector.
