Credit Unions to push new government for more reforms

The Government is being urged to take a more proactive approach in supporting the work of Credit Unions in counties like Roscommon.

The main representative group for the credit union movement will, this week, issue the Government with a list of key reform demands it sees as being vital to strengthening the industry.

Greater capacity to provide mortgages and business loans and a review of the capital reserve requirements for individual unions will be on the agenda.
