Irish Department of Finance Supports Credit Union Sector Strategy
What happened
Senior representatives of the Irish League of Credit Unions visited Cois Sionna Desmond Credit Union to discuss the future of the credit union sector in Ireland. The visit included discussions on the Credit Union Sector Strategy Project, an initiative that began in April 2026 and is supported by the Department of Finance. Cois Sionna Desmond Credit Union, which merged with Unity Credit Union in May 2026, now serves approximately 59,000 members across 15 offices in Limerick City and County and the North Kerry region.
