Minister for Enterprise and Employment (Mr. R. Bruton)

I met separately on 19 April with representatives of Irish Bankers Federation and Irish Mortgage and Savings Association to discuss Section 125 of the Consumer Credit Bill, 1994 concerning customer charges.

I undertook, without commitment, to examine any proposals for amendments which they would put to me.
