Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Report on Licensed Moneylending Industry: Central Bank of Ireland (29 Jan 2014)

Michael Creed: I have a final question on the matter. The current legislation allows moneylenders to give top-up loans on existing debt where there are default payments but credit unions are exclusively precluded from doing so.

People need, in the sense of financial services, to get back to knitting, and this is what the credit union's core business was about. It was about knowing their communities and providing credit where people could not get...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Report on Licensed Moneylending Industry: Central Bank of Ireland (29 Jan 2014)

Michael Creed: I am not aware that I levelled accusations of criminality against individuals. The industry is a fair target for those comments. It is bleeding people dry with debt recycled upon debt.
