Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2011
102 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance if he will furnish this Deputy with the amount of new credit advanced by the financial institutions which have been benefiting from the State guarantee since February. [39964/11]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware the Central Bank gathers and collates statistics on a wide range of Financial Services Sector activities on an on-going basis. As a general rule, my Department does not engage in a separate exercise to collect such statistics, but has access to and relies on statistics provided and published by the Central Bank. For the Deputy's information, the relevant statistics for the provision of credit are accessible at http://www.centralbank.ie/polstats/stats/cmab/Pages/releases.aspx
