Asked Finance
Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Finance if he considers that the implementation by restructured credit unions, in particular of section 44 of the Credit Union Act 1997, together with the inclusion of the credit unions in the dormant accounts regime would enhance the capacity of credit unions to contribute much more socially and economically to communities; whether, in the absence of its implementation, section 44, which is now almost 20 years on the Statute Book, will be best repealed, since to put legislation on the Statute Book that has little hope of being enforced degrades the rule of law and the legislators; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
