Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

Operating as an unlicensed moneylender is illegal and it is a matter for the Garda Síochána in the first instance. In regard to the licensed moneylenders, we have ongoing discussions with the regulator and the Central Bank about all the lending institutions. I will raise the issue the Deputy mentioned with the Cental Bank and the regulator.
