Amharc ar fhreagraThis Government recognises the importance of credit unions. The Programme for Government Review of the Policy Framework for credit unions has been completed and will go to Government shortly.
We are separately undertaking a Retail Banking Review, the terms of reference of which have been published on my department's website. I would encourage the credit union sector to make a submission to the consultation process by the deadline of 8 July. Should credit union stakeholders submit the proposal you raise it will be given due consideration.
