The Board of Microfinance Ireland (MFI) provides me with Quarterly Reports of progress, and these are published on the websites of both MFI and my Department.

The county spread of approvals is contained in each Quarterly Report provided by Microfinance Ireland to my Department.

In relation to the drawdown figures requested by the Deputy, I have attached the requested figures as at 31st December 2015 and 31st December 2016 for each county together with total drawdowns in number and value since the inception of Microfinance Ireland in 2012.
