Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I trust that each Member of the House is receiving the same representations as is Deputy Crawford and as I certainly am. Does the Minister of State accept there is a lack of faith in the Credit Review Office? I do not refer in particular to Mr. John Trethowan himself but to a lack of faith in the office. This is demonstrated by the low numbers of people who are contacting the office. Regardless of whether people succeed, fail or otherwise, they simply are not contacting the office because of such a lack of faith. People simply are blue in the face on foot of banks' refusals of loans to them at the point of contact on the high street. Even viable businesses are not getting loans.
