General Scheme of the Microenterprise Loan Fund (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Fiona Kilcullen:
The key thing is the board appointments. It will also make it easier to provide funding. The current structure made it more difficult to get funding in quickly during the Covid-19 crisis. It will give a standard "in" on the Estimates process. The board appointment and the Estimates process changes will comprise the key improvement and efficiency that will come to the current governance structure.
