Topical Issue Debate: Credit Union Regulation (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Moynihan: I know what is in the reply. We could debate for the entire night why we have come to this position and whether the approach taken was heavy handed, but at this point what people are discussing tonight in Charleville is what is the future of a credit union service in Charleville.
