- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Credit Unions (21 May 2024)
Neale Richmond: There is not a cap of €30,000. That is up to the individual credit union. The policy of the Central Bank is €100,000. The reason they have that is to ensure the protection of members' savings and to ensure that credit union funding continues to be sufficiently diversified and is not dependent on a small number of members. The Deputy knows how the credit union works. You...

Aindrias Moynihan: Just to clarify, the maximum of €100,000 is not an issue. It is not what is up for discussion. The issue is with far lower caps being imposed on credit union accounts in the region of €30,000. Some local credit unions in Cork are doing that. It would seem it is a more local or ad hoc arrangement. It is not clear on that. I ask the Minister of State to engage with the...

Neale Richmond: The Deputy might write to me with the specific nature of the query and representations being made.

Pádraig O'Sullivan: My question is specifically on public liability. I want to draw the attention of the Minister of State to something which he might raise with the Minister for Education. It is specifically with regard to schools. I am aware of a particular school which typically pays €6,000 or €7,000 public liability insurance per annum. It has received three modular classrooms, which...

Pearse Doherty: One of the problems we consistently have is that the Minister of State continues to be almost a spokesperson for the insurance industry. He did it again. When I asked him whether the insurance industry is taking a hand at the Government he said he was not happy with the rate of decreases. Where are the decreases? This is the problem. Does the Minister of State not know what is happening...

Neale Richmond: I thank the Deputies for their supplementary questions. With regard to the issue raised by Deputy O'Sullivan, I was not aware of the specific issue with regard to modular builds and I will seek a conversation with the Minister, Deputy Foley, to see whether we can get resolution. It is of major concern to all of our constituencies. To respond to Deputy Durkan's point, we do work with the...
