General Scheme of Sale of Loan Books to Unregulated Third Parties Bill 2014: Discussion
3:00 pm
Mr. John Hogan:
The principle of what we are trying to achieve with this legislation is to ensure that the individual borrower has the protections available to him or her under the Central Bank's codes. One can argue about the different approaches to undertake this principle. We considered one but were convinced that we needed to change our approach to ensure that a lacuna was addressed.
