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

Report on Local Public Banking: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Seamus Boland:

Regarding geography, in our very detailed proposal we mentioned the midlands as a potential place to look at. The midlands are very much affected by the recession. The Western Development Commission has shown that the level of lending has reduced considerably in recent years in the midlands. The region is suffering, but the reality is that the south west and the north west have suffered enormously as well. That is the answer to the geographical question. I do not know if it answers the question.
