Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Credit Union Advisory Committee: Discussion (31 Jan 2019)

John McGuinness: In our discussions this morning, we must also consider the staff on the front line. Some of them are terrified that they will do something wrong in relation to the regulation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Credit Union Advisory Committee: Discussion (31 Jan 2019)
