Dan Boyle (Green Party)

I move:

That Seanad Éireann supports the development of microfinance in this country with greater support of the credit union sector to allow for the creation of local economic initiatives, an important and necessary step towards bringing about national economic recovery.

It is a matter of some satisfaction to the two Green Party Senators in this House that every time we have had an opportunity to move a Private Members' motion, we have done so in a way that involves the entire House. To date, we have not had to divide the House on any issue.
