Dr. Tricia Keilthy:

Our advice relates to the supports and systems that are currently available to people. The Money Advice and Budgeting Service, MABS, for example, is a great resource in the community that can offer people advice, but it is a complicated issue. Again, it is about ensuring people are not left behind and ensuring our policies are cognisant of their needs. That is where the consumer protection strategy comes in, whereby the regulator will ensure policies are developed with this in mind in order that we will not leave people behind.
