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

Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland

Mr. Gabriel Makhlouf:

We cannot do anything directly but I know that the specific issue the Deputy mentions is being actively looked at by participants in the scheme, by the relevant Departments, Banking and Payments Federation Ireland and the banks. The issue of bridging finance is being looked at. We are aware of it but are not involved in the scheme itself.
