He should set the fee now in this Bill. If a future Minister does not agree with it, he or she can bring forward proposals to change...

Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: I also commend Deputy Harkin on bringing this legislation to the House. In my constituency of Tipperary, there is great faith in our credit union system. That feeling is replicated in communities throughout the country. The regard with which our credit unions are held is quite distinct from that of banks. That is not just pure luck; it is because credit unions put people before profit....

The purpose of the Bill is to bring Ireland in line with EU directives to strengthen the State's ability to fight the smuggling of people.
