Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with the Central Bank (4 Oct 2018)

John McGuinness: I asked about the Irish Credit Bureau, ICB, and there is a point that I wish to clarify.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with the Central Bank (4 Oct 2018)
