Harkin praises Credit Union role

Marian Harkin MEP has welcomed a report which shows that Credit Unions are three times more popular than the banks.

“Leitrim’s credit unions play a hugely supportive role for the people of the county with 7 unions and 20,244 members. This level of involvement exists in every county of the 32 counties of Ireland and provides the most important channel of finance for the majority of citizens,” she said.
