I will meet the chairperson of the Credit Review Office tomorrow afternoon. As the Chairman has been raising the matter, I have got a copy of the consumer protection code 2012. The Chairman is correct that the definition includes persons or groups of persons and incorporated bodies with a turnover of less than €3 million. I imagine that what is driving this is that it is a consumer protection code as opposed to a protection code relating to businesses, for example. I have not been advised of the kind of gap to which the Chairman refers but I will have a good opportunity to investigate the matter tomorrow afternoon. Conversations on resolving issues relating to non-performing loans are always difficult.
