Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome the representative groups and thank them for their time. I am trying to reconcile the gap between the Central Bank, the Department of Finance and the individual member of a credit union, as represented by these groups today.

Seán Sherlock: I wish to broaden the perspectives on these issues, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Molan and even Ms O'Connor - forgive me, we have not included her in the interaction yet. We are trying to get a better understanding of this. As I said, it is still about the gaps that exist. Mr. McCrory has already articulated a gap in respect of CP88 and spoken about the indefinite delays in the holding of AGMs. What...
