Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I would like the Minister of State to address an important question. The Credit Review Office has overturned the decision in 55% of the applications it has received. It, by definition, is saying that in the sample size of the applications with which it is dealing there is a breakdown in more than half of the applications with which the banks are dealing. I believe that the Minister and the Minister of State are powerless to act in this. I ask them to ask the Ministers on the Economic Management Council to allow them be members of it in order that they can try at least to bring an enterprise orientation to it.
