The Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS) was established under the Credit Guarantee Act 2012. The Scheme launched in October 2012, in response to numerous calls from business interests. It is a novel Scheme in an Irish context which is currently developing a position in the Irish financial arena.
Consultancy fees have been spent on the development and design, and the establishment and ongoing management and operation of the Scheme. In addition the Scheme was externally reviewed in 2013.
