Mairéad Farrell: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Obviously we need to have a system in times of pandemic, but we do also need to be careful.

Mairéad Farrell: On the issue of Bank of Ireland closing branches, I listened with interest when the Minister mentioned the potential of the credit unions. I would be interested to hear his views.

Certain people in the credit union sector...
