Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Tim Molan:

Tiering is what is needed in order that the regulation will be proportionate, such that the higher risk credit unions that wish to have more exotic products and whatever else would be subject to higher levels of regulation. There are disproportionate levels of regulation being imposed on smaller credit unions which have much less exposure to risk.
