Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Tim Molan:
Credit unions must be forward looking and look at the situation as it arises or as it may be. The bottom line is that a number of credit unions have taken a decision to put a cap on savings inflow for prudential reasons. We should bear in mind that in the same statutory instrument, the Central Bank imposed a blanket cap of €100,000 on all credit unions in the country.
