I understand that this report, a joint study by the Combat Poverty Agency and the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority, on the issues concerning access to financial services in Ireland, will be completed in spring 2006. I expect that the findings of this research, which builds on earlier Combat Poverty Agency studies on money-lending and indebtedness, will assist in the development of policies to tackle the problems experienced by certain groups of consumers who have difficulty accessing financial services.
