Microfinance Ireland (MFI) opened for business on Monday 1st October 2012. A full progress report on the operation of the scheme from 1 October 2012 to 31 March 2013 can be found on my Department’s website (www.enterprise.gov.ie) and the Microfinance Ireland (MFI) website (www.microfinanceireland.ie ). I hope to publish the next MFI progress report by mid-July.
