Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Access to Finance for SMEs: Discussion (Resumed)
11:10 am
Mr. Kevin Johnson:
It was deemed for those participating to be too risky and inappropriate to their capability at that time. However, the environment has evolved. Our regulators are getting better at regulating and understanding the credit union business. I hope they will take on board all the requirements that are now being met by credit unions and that, in demonstrating those abilities, we will now be allowed to expand the services.
