Banking Issues in Ireland: Central Bank
Mr. Ed Sibley:
I would tend to agree with the Deputy to a very large extent in that the overall functioning of the market is not just about the banks. He is absolutely right about that. We have taken action to facilitate and allow credit unions to lend significantly more, both in long-term mortgage lending and to the smaller SME sector.
