Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Access to Credit Provision: Discussion with Credit Review Office

3:35 pm

Mr. John Trethowan:

The first thing we do is to see if the application is viable - can the company service the loan because there is no point going forward and getting people into a debt that they cannot serve. We will do that but then we try to find every mechanism we can to help them get the credit.
