The Moneylenders Acts, 1900 and 1933, contain no provision for direct supervision over the day-to-day operation of licensed moneylenders. The Acts provide, however, that a licensed moneylender has to obtain, each year, a district court certificate of personal suitability, and the granting of such a certificate may be opposed by any resident in the court area or by the Garda Síochána.
