Credit Unions contact the new Minister offering support for rebuilding the economy at local and national level

Credit unions have warmly welcomed the appointment of Seán Fleming TD as Minister of State at the Department of Finance with responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance.

Commenting on the appointment, Kevin Johnson, CEO of CUDA,

We welcome the appointment of Minister Fleming and as he works through the extremely difficult challenges in his role, we believe that credit unions can play a vital role in supporting him and his Government colleagues with the rebuilding of Ireland’s economy. We have an increased range of lending products – consumer loans now complimented with home loans and business loans, and we look forward to working with Minister Fleming to further broaden the financial support that credit unions can offer members and their local communities.

We have written to Minister Fleming to share with him how credit unions can support him in achieving aspects of the Programme for Government and contribute to rebuilding the economy, both at local and national level”.
